As China seems poised to become the largest economy in the world, it’s important for those of us in the West to understand the nation and its people independent of whatever we think we know about China. The China of today isn’t the China of yesterday, and with a population of millennials in numbers higher than North America, the Middle East, and Europe combined, the China of tomorrow is approaching 10 times faster than anywhere else. In past episodes, we’ve explored the massive influence this rapidly changing China has had on the world’s economy and security, and the role we can expect it to play in the future of genetic engineering and artificial intelligence. But we can’t really take in the big picture if we’re only focusing on China’s totalitarian government as the overriding power that pulls all strings. On this episode, we talk to Zak Dychtwald, author of Young China: How the Restless Generation Will Change Their Country and the World. Zak’s mission is to build bridges based on understanding between China and the world, focusing on people instead of governments, macro-economies, and associated news stories.
