In this episode of Byte-Sized Human Geography, China is front and center.  We take a brief look back at the relationship with the US and China, then we discuss possible scenarios of what what could happen with their quarter of a trillion dollar relationship in the future. Looking at the current events, it’s possible that we are already seeing signs of what’s to come.

This is Human Geography byte-sized - big concepts in small chunks of time for all learners at every level. It's Human Geography, made simple!
