China Field Notes – with Scott Kennedy

Understanding China has become more difficult than ever. It has also become more important than ever. Whether the United States and China are rivals, partners, or a mix of both, effective policy will only be as good as the information on which it is based. Host Scott Kennedy, the Senior Adviser and Trustee Chair in Chinese Business and Economics at CSIS, has been one of the few American scholars to travel between Washington and Beijing in recent years. His travels are driven by a firm belief that field research, direct observation, and talking and listening to Chinese perspectives must be a part of our toolkit to understand the People’s Republic of China. Join Scott as he speaks to Chinese leaders from business, government, and academia, as well as foreigners who have spent many years living and working in China, on what makes China tick, where is the country going, what connects us, and what divides us. We’ll dive into all of that and more on China Field Notes – with Scott Kennedy.
