  1. On *The Wall Street Journal*’s *Free Expression* podcast, host Gerry Baker speaks with former US ambassador to Russia and current Senior Fellow [Michael McFaul](https://www.hoover.org/profiles/michael-mcfaul) about how the US will handle Russia as well as China this century. McFaul expands on insights from his new book*,* [*Autocrats vs. Democrats: China, Russia, America, and the New Global Disorder*](https://www.hoover.org/research/autocrats-vs-democrats-china-russia-america-and-new-global-disorder)*.* Baker asks McFaul how the US can effectively compete against autocratic rivals and about the Trump administration’s current foreign policy. They also discuss why in McFaul’s view Russia is a bigger threat than China to the United States and how China wants to wield its influence through the world economy, unlike Vladimir Putin’s campaign of disruption.

    Please note a full text transcript of this conversation is available at the link above.

  4. Russia is not even in the race now, it can collapse anytime soon. The EU is drowning in its radical leftism and overwhelmed with asylum seekers. India may emerge later on when the demographic declines of China and the US intensify. And don’t forget artificial super intelligence (ASI) that many experts are worried about right now. ASI may actually win the supremacy when both China and the US fuel the AI research and cut too many corners.
