Summary

Earlier this month, Kaiser recorded a discussion in front of a live audience at the 1990 Institute in San Francisco with three luminaries of the China-watching scene: Yasheng Huang, MIT Sloan Professor of Chinese Economy and Business, John Pomfret, author of The Beautiful Country and the Middle Kingdom, and Andy Rothman, investment strategist at Matthews Asia. They got together to talk about how the presidency of Donald Trump will affect trade, politics, the international order, currency policies, and several other sides of the American relationship with China.

Guo, and I am delighted to bring you this weekly discussion of current affairs in China, which is produced in partnership with SubChina.

1:05.0

And given that we're in San Francisco and that this audience isn't all white and male,

1:43.7

other parts of the world
