Kishore Mahbubani is a well known former diplomat and academic. He was Singapore's permanent representative to the UN and held the position of President of the United Nations Security Council. Kishore has written many fascinating books and is one of the most prolific strategic thinkers of our time. His fact based approach and historical perspectives may at times be at odds with Western media reporting and he thus positively provokes one to try harder in understanding the wider world. This episode covers discussions on the decline of the West, the rise of China and the importance of East Asia and India, which are just some of the topics covered in his latest book titled 'Has China Won?' - a must read for anyone interested in international affairs.
