Hollywood, China & Cold War 2, with The Wall Street Journals Erich Scwartzel
b'On this podcast, we spend a lot of time discussing the rising threat from China and Cold War 2. We\\u2019ve hosted Matt Pottinger (episode #28), Josh Rogin (episode #17), and Admiral Stravidis (episode #44). We\\u2019ve also done an episode on the future of the movie industry, with John Podhoretz (episode #16). \\n\\n\\nBut what do China \\u2013 and specifically Cold War II \\u2013 and Hollywood have to do with one another? You may not have realized it, but when you watch movies like Skyfall, Mission Impossible III and World War Z, to name a few, you are watching a strange relationship at work between the Chinese Communist Party and one of America\\u2019s most influential exporters.\\n\\n\\nIt\\u2019s the fascinating and richly reported story told by Erich Schwartzel in his new book, Red Carpet: Hollywood, China, and the Global Battle for Cultural Supremacy. Erich has reported on the film industry for the past decade for The Wall Street Journal. He\\u2019s based in the Journal\\u2019s LA bureau. Previously, he reported for The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette where he wrote extensively on the environment and the burgeoning energy industry there. \\n\\n\\nTo order Erich\\u2019s book: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/red-carpet-erich-schwartzel/1139401471'
