China Field Notes – with Scott Kennedy
Understanding China has become more difficult than ever, yet also more important than ever. Hardening geopolitics has made travel to China more difficult, but not impossible. Join host Scott Kennedy, the Senior Adviser and Trustee Chair in Chinese Business and Economics at CSIS, for an on-the-ground look at China, for conversations with people shaping China and scholars exploring the country firsthand. What makes China tick? Where is the country going? How should the U.S. respond to the China challenge? We’ll dive into all of that and more on China Field Notes – with Scott Kennedy.
