About this episode
Chinese private security companies (PSCs) are beginning to expand their influence in the global security market, with thousands of these companies now operating in over 40 countries. Despite legal restrictions preventing them from being armed, these firms are increasingly finding ways to circumvent such regulations. This raises critical questions: Will China leverage these companies to bypass international rules, engage in grey-zone combat, or establish footholds for future military bases abroad? We delve into these issues with our expert panel.On the panel this week:- Carl Peterson (Militant Wire)- Nick Thompson (Anduril)- Alessandro Arduino (King’s College London)Intro - 00:00PART 1 - 04:38PART 2 - 30:11PART 3 - 45:35Outro - 59:02Follow the show on @TheRedLinePodFollow Michael on @MikeHilliardAusSupport The Red Line at: https://www.patreon.com/theredlinepodcastSubmit Questions and Join the Red Line Discord Server at: https://www.theredlinepodcast.com/discordFor more info, please visit: https://www.theredlinepodcast.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
