Where the West gets uncomfortable, and the real power games unfold.
From fighter jets to fibre optic cables, from rare earths to rogue satellites, the headlines tell you it’s trade. We tell you it’s control.
In this China series, we’re unpacking the machinery behind global power:
Techno-Feudalism vs China: Why the West is enslaving itself with apps while Beijing builds hardware dominance.
Magnets of Power: The unseen force behind energy, military, and industrial supremacy, and who really controls the rare earths.
China’s Military Sales Network: Ports, pipelines… and now fighter jets — how China’s “peaceful rise” comes with supply chains of firepower.
The rules of the game are changing. China isn’t waiting. The West can’t agree on what game it’s even playing.
Welcome to Cross the Line with Lyle & Lydia - where we drag the polite fictions into the daylight.
