What Is the Wider Impact of a Resurgent China and an America in Decline? Meredith Crowley, George Magnus and Linda Yueh
Our panellists discuss the uncertain outlook for the world’s two largest economies.
Will President Biden rescue the US from its Trump-induced geopolitical decline? Will the growth of the Chinese economy slow or come to a halt as it faces structural problems? What are the implications for the UK of being caught in the middle of potential US-China clashes over everything from AI to Taiwan?
Meredith Crowley and George Magnus are in conversation with Linda Yueh.
