In today’s three-minute interview, Stephen LeDrew speaks with China expert and author Charles Burton about the emerging global alignment between China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and other authoritarian regimes - and why the next major conflict will not look like traditional war.
Burton explains that Canada’s real vulnerability is not overseas battlefields, but infiltration of critical infrastructure at home. From power grids and water systems to telecommunications and connected technologies, the next conflict could be fought through cyber disruption, supply chains, and digital control rather than bombs and troops.
The discussion examines why Western countries continue to underestimate the scale of China’s strategic planning, how authoritarian regimes exploit economic access and technology, and why Canadians may feel the consequences directly in their daily lives.
This is a sober assessment of modern warfare, national security, and why Canada must start taking infrastructure protection seriously.
