Host Marshall Kosloff talks with Erich Schwartzel, author of a new book titled "Red Carpet: Hollywood, China, and the Global Battle for Cultural Supremacy." The Chinese film industry has risen to become a lucrative market, but Communist Party control and censorship has Hollywood movie-makers caught between big payouts and blatant infringement on free speech. Schwartzel explains how this tension plays out with your favorite movies, and what American legislators should do to push back on China's attempts to control the Hollywood culture machine.
