Min In the second episode of High Noon, Inez Stepman talks with Melissa Chen about how to grapple with a geopolitically rising China, and about how the country goes into this civilizational clash hobbled by domestic insecurities about our open society. Chen and Stepman also discuss the balance between individualism and community, and how many are now seeking or actively creating political identities to replace more traditional ones. Melissa Chen is the New York editor for The Spectator USA, where she writes about the U.S.-China relationship, identity, and free speech, among other topics. She is the managing director of Ideas Beyond Borders, an organization that translates Enlightenment tracts into other languages, and on the advisory board of the Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism.
