On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN:
First, Fareed gives his take on how President Trump's blacklisting of Huawei could split the world of technology in two.
"If Washington can cut China off from American technology at will, China will be determined to build its own technological infrastructure, top to bottom," Fareed argues, predicting the world may be moving toward "a bipolar world in digital technology with two walled-off ecosystems: American and Chinese."
That outcome is avoidable, and it would leave the world less prosperous, Fareed says. It also means the tech war is more significant than trade negotiations.
Next, we'll discuss tensions in Asia—from the US-China standoff over trade and technology to North Korea's nuclear-armed regime—with former White House National Security Council senior director for Asian affairs Evan Medeiros; Washington Post Beijing Bureau Chief Anna Fifield, author of the forthcoming book The Great Successor: The Divinely Perfect Destiny of Brilliant Comrade Kim Jong Un; and Parag Khanna, author of The Future Is Asian.
We'll also hear from retired Navy Admiral and former US special-operations chief William McRaven, who will discuss America's standoff with Iran, courage, his new book Sea Stories: My Life in Special Operations, and why his 2014 University of Texas commencement speech went viral.
New York Times International Correspondent Ellen Barry will break down Prime Minister Theresa May's resignation and what's next for the UK; columnist David Brooks will discuss his new book, The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life; and, finally, we'll look at what countries will benefit from the trade war and what kinds of discrimination 2020 presidential candidates might face, based on polling of voters' openness to candidates of different religions, ages, sexual orientations, and ideologies. | |
