Conversations With History - James Fallows

"China and the United States"
James Fallows, National Correspondent, The Atlantic Monthly

Host Harry Kreisler welcomes James Fallows of the Atlantic Monthly for a conversation on U.S-China relations. They discuss the rise of China as a manufacturing superpower, the costs and benefits of economic interdependence between the two countries, and the implications of the relationship for global economic stability. Fallows also talks about the lack of media coverage of the international context of the U.S. financial crisis and speculates on how China will impact the agenda of the next President of the United States.

Recorded September 25, 2008

Doubt littleorange watched the vid, probably too many big words and complex ideas. Fallows knows China very well.

Go ahead, welcome this communist country with open arms and SELL OUT AMERICA. I can't believe this is happening, but there is no stopping it. I hope there is something we can do to stop the bleeding of America... but Chinese lovers like Mr. Fallows are selling out as fast as possible. I hope he enjoys eating dog.

I agree with James. As an ethnic Chinese (not from China though), I have always thought as a whole, China is more like U.S.A. than Europe by virtue of her entrepreneurial spirit and pragmatism. And James is also right on the spot when he said that Chinese like the break the rule unless they are forced to obey it! I have a good laugh!
