I go away for a couple months and wow! A global pandemic and looming economic depression. Well, I was planning on discussing US-China relations when I went on my unscheduled break, so I guess there’s no time like the present to talk about the history, context, and flash points in the relationship between the world’s two superpowers.
Topics covered in this episode
- America’s history of relations with China
- How America and Americans view China
- How China views the world (and America)
- The effect of Covid-19 on US-China relations
