Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Susan Shirk, Professor of Political Science at UC San Diego, for a discussion of her new book, China: Fragile Superpower. A former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the Clinton administration, Professor Shirk analyzes how Chinese domestic politics affects its international behavior and how U.S. foreign policy responds to and influences China's international behavior. She also discusses how her work as a scholar of Chinese politics and society informed her work in Washington. Series: "Conversations with History" [9/2007] [Show ID: 13167]

I was refering to the financial crisis. The Chinese regime is totalitarian but it can control the flow of capital.

I just feel it is naive to phrase China as a monster that may collapse at any moment or a monster can kill anytime. China is more complex than that. It has problems but it won't collapse as Susan said. It is gradually gaining strength, but it won't be the next empire. China is just trying to regain its status as the leader of East Asia, as it was in the past two thousand years.

Susan should get prepared for her new book - USA:Fragile Superpower, hahaha

This speech and her book "China: Fragile Superpower" are long apologies for the poor Chinese Politburo, how hard it is being a brutal dictator these days, will your Army support you in the next riot at Tianmen Square, will obnoxious Taiwanese resist your landing craft and bombers....and it is apparently the US's job to help them keep themselves in power. This the Democratic Party's "Blame America First" movement of grown up '68 hippies now in power.
