The aftermath of the Chinese surveillance balloon saga reveals a growing diplomatic divide between the US and China. Where does this mistrust come from? And why would Beijing take the risk of high-stakes state espionage?
In “Wealth and Power,” authors Orville Schell and John Delury argue that foreign humiliation over the past century and a half is the story that holds China together.
They join host Ray Suarez to discuss China’s quest for global dominance.
Guests:
John Delury, US Professor of Chinese Studies at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea
Orville Schell, director of the Center on US-China relations at the Asia Society
