Join Professor Jeffrey Sachs and economist David Daokui Li as
they discuss Professor Li’s brilliant new book, China's World
View: Demystifying China to Prevent Global Conflict. Listen in as
Professor Li explains the deep nature of Chinese politics and
economics – based on China’s long history, Confucian culture, and
meritocratic political system. 


Together, they delve into a wide-ranging discussion of politics,
education, philosophy, culture, and international
relations.  Professor Li helps us to understand the
similarities and differences in the Chinese and US approaches to
politics and economics, and explains how US-Chinese relations can
be peaceful, constructive, and beneficial for both countries and
the world.
