Jay sits down with Peter Alexander, founder and managing director of Z-Ben Advisors, for a wide-ranging conversation on China’s real position in the global economy. Peter has lived in Shanghai for nearly 30 years, and brings his unique perspective from inside the country on many topics including: China’s political system, manufacturing dominance, Belt and Road strategy and gold. They also discuss why Western narratives on China often miss the deeper story, how China is building long-term leverage, and what this means for investors watching the next phase of U.S.-China competition.Peter's Links:https://z-ben.com/https://substack.com/@plalexanderHow Did We Get Here?Deconstructing the 30-year path of Chinese and American rivalry and its consequential, adverse effects on the International Rules-Based Orderhttps://z-ben.com/edm/Public/file/Z-Ben%20Advisors%20-%20How%20Did%20We%20Get%20Here%20-%20January%202026.pdfLearn to invest alongside the top minds in commodities.
