In this episode, Glenn Tiffert, Distinguished Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and an historian of modern China, and Anna Rennéus Guthrie, director Stockholm Free World Forum, discuss the challenges posed by China to Western countries, particularly Sweden.
The topics featured in the conversation include Sweden’s proactive stance in addressing challenges posed by the PRC, the role of the United Front Work Department in influencing the Chinese diaspora, the delicate balance between diplomacy and malign foreign influence and the critical role of social media in shaping narratives and disseminating misinformation.
”Sweden, the United States, and other countries across Europe and North America, like Canada and our friends Japan, Australia, Korea, have so much at stake in the world, ensuring that the world represents the values of open, free societies. The scientific and technological relationships that we’ve developed over decades are very deep and are very productive. We must preserve those and the choices that we make must be supportive of those,” says Glenn Tiffert.
