On today's 'Global Exchange' Podcast, we sit down with CGAI Fellow, and global business consultant, Amy Karam to discuss the rapid economic rise and challenge of China. Join Colin and Amy as they consider China's expeditious and robust economic development, as well as the reasons for its contemporary economic dominance; the future of the new global economy, in which China will have extraordinary sway; and the ongoing trade spat between China and the Trump Administration in the United States, which seems to be based on China's unwillingness to adhere to established Western trade rules.
