Back to EpisodesDownstream: When Will China Be The World’s Most Powerful Country?
Published 5 years ago
Description
Will the 2020s be the decade when power decisively shifts from the United States to China? How important is China’s rise in a broad historic context – and is that why we are seeing an emerging Cold War between Washington and Beijing? Do appeals to a ‘civilisation-state’ undermine the power of universal values and human rights? Aaron Bastani speaks to Martin Jacques, author of the best-selling book, When China Rules the World.
