Kishore Mahbubani and John Mearsheimer clash over whether America can contain China the way it contained the Soviet Union, and why Kishore says it fails.
Mearsheimer argues the US will contain China and even claims George Kennan would side with him. Kishore pushes back: China is woven into world trade in a way the Soviet Union never was, America's Asian allies trade more with China than with the US, and China has not fought a major war in forty years. Mearsheimer answers that security beats money.
