Hope and Fear in the Age of Asia

Sinica: Hope and Fear in the Age of Asia

The West has spent decades pleading with China to become a responsible stakeholder in the global community, but what happens now that China is starting to take a more proactive role internationally? In today's show, Kaiser Kuo and David Moser are delighted to be joined by Dutch journalist Fokke Obbema (the de Volkskrant correspondent with a perfectly normal Dutch name), author of the recent book China and the West: Hope and Fear in the Age of Asia.

As sinolawson remarked, the link to the standalone MP3 file has a typo in it (there's a '1489' which should be '1469'). The correct link is http://www.popupchinese.com/data/1469/sinica-hope-and-fear-in-the-age-of-asia.mp3
