Anthony Saich: Understanding China

One of the big concerns on American minds is the rise of China, but Harvard Kennedy School’s Anthony Saich explains the misunderstanding Americans have about China. Saich says it is not the Chinese that control their economic future, but actually American companies.

Once a week, 92nd Street Y’s Campaign for the American Conversation offers you insight and analysis from the best minds at the Harvard Kennedy School. HKS is collaborating with us on American Conversation Essentials – short videos that explain the issues at play during this campaign year. The videos are the building blocks for your own conversations with friends, colleagues and even people you’re not sure you agree with. Start with the information we offer here and then keep your mind open as you discuss the topics of the day.
