How China's Economic Miracle Went Off the Rails
2Description
This month, President Joe Biden and President Xi Jinping of the People's Republic of China (PRC) met in San Francisco amid trade wars and even the prospect of a catastrophic hot war over Taiwan. Their meeting took place during a nervous period in the history of China. After decades of spectacular growth, the Chinese economic miracle has sputtered, with huge implications for its own population and the world.

To help us understand how China thinks about economics, technology, and America, we welcome back to the show writer Dan Wang.
