Improvise. Adapt. Go.

In this episode, Brad sits down with China scholar Dr. Moore, who lived in the PRC for 15 years, to examine one of the most serious geopolitical questions of our time:

Is Xi Jinping preparing to move on Taiwan before 2027?

Dr. Moore lays out what he calls Xi’s strategic “dashboard” — 13 key indicators that could shape Beijing’s decision timeline.

We discuss:

• Why most of those windows are closing, not opening
• Taiwan’s shifting national identity and what that means for Beijing
• China’s hypersonic advantage — and how long it lasts
• The semiconductor choke point and global economic leverage
• U.S. strategic ambiguity vs. strategic clarity
• Whether deterrence is strong enough right now

If Xi believes time is no longer on his side, the next two years become critical.

The Taiwan Strait is 90 miles wide.
The 2027 Party Congress is approaching.
And global stability may hinge on what happens between now and then.

This is a serious strategic conversation — not panic, not hype — just hard assessment.

Stay informed. Stay grounded. Stay frosty.
