Disrupting The Global Order With Janice Stein

No country has greater capacity to disrupt the global order than China. Despite the slowdown in its economy, China is the world’s largest economic power with a healthy growth rate of about 5%. China is investing heavily in its military and is developing a blue water navy that will expand its global reach. Conscious of its growing influence, China’s leaders are flexing their muscles, alarming their neighbours. This could well be the most dangerous neighbourhood in the world in the decades to come. So what is China’s future? Will the country get rich before it gets old or will it get old before it gets rich? Will it play by international rules or will it insist that others play by the rules it makes? To explore these questions, David Shambaugh, author of China's Future, joins host Janice Stein.
