During the 1970s, China was diplomatically quarantined, economically isolated, and found in between the two current superpowers the USSR and the USA. Today, the debate seems to be on how far Chinese ideas can go and how much of the world sees China as actively contending for global power and influence. In this episode Fabio and Felix address the Chinese model of economic development.

This episode was recorded as a project for Fabio’s MA class on Development theory at University of Kent’s Brussels School of International Studies.
