이 에피소드에 관해
Hear Angela Mackay, Global Publisher of FT Live, and The Financial Times’ Managing Director of Asia Pacific, talk of the surge in China’s confidence, military might and entrepreneurism resulting in new rules of engagement with the West, especially media. You’ll learn of the subtle shift of attention at conferences and global gatherings to the views of Asians-- not Westerners-- and how impressive China’s millennials are in terms of their STEM achievements and their enthusiastic, unbridled ambition. Through it all, the FT and others walk a tightrope to avoid Beijing’s efforts to control media, activity which she feels could be China’s Achilles heel.
We cover these topics plus robotics, China’s relationship with North Korea, corruption, global terrorism, and many more, all against the backdrop of events in the entire Asia Pacific region.
