Episode 124 - The Rise of Chinese Private Security Companies (PSCs and PMCs)
Chinese private security companies (PSCs) are beginning to expand their influence in the global security market, with thousands of these companies now operating in over 40 countries. Despite legal restrictions preventing them from being armed, these firms are increasingly finding ways to circumvent such regulations. This raises critical questions: Will China leverage these companies to bypass international rules, engage in grey-zone combat, or establish footholds for future military bases abroad? We delve into these issues with our expert panel.
On the panel this week:
- Carl Peterson (Militant Wire)
- Nick Thompson (Anduril)
- Alessandro Arduino (King’s College London)
