Yes, this episode is about the rise of China and America's woeful unpreparedness for this epoch making event. But when guest Anna Fifield, Tokyo Bureau Chief of the Washington Post, sees a cockroach crawling through her Tokyo apartment during the broadcast, important lessons are learned. Tune in for the fun as Anna exits to another room and continues discussing the future of Asia and the world with Ed Luce of the FT, Rosa Brooks of Georgetown University and host David Rothkopf, who is himself somewhere in Asia at the moment.
