China’s back in the news, and no, it’s not good news. After the release of the live-action film “Mulan,” Disney, in the end credits, offered “special thanks” to eight government entities in the Chinese province of Xinjiang, where over a million Uighur Muslims are being detained and face demographic genocide in modern-day concentration camps, operated by the Chinese Communist Party.

Meanwhile, with less than two months until the presidential election, President Trump is openly pondering over the idea of decoupling the U.S. economy from China, an idea that many multi-national corporations aren’t taking seriously. So, what’s at stake?

My guest today is Gordon Chang, he’s a columnist and author of “The Coming Collapse of China.” You can find him on Twitter @GordonGChang.

On today’s show, we’re going to discuss how these global corporations have been lowering their standards for human rights to access the Chinese market, what it means to decouple from China, and how it would impact the United States down the road.
