China Esquire

While I was driving this morning, I heard on National Public Radio (NPR) locally that James Fallows is speaking about China’s Economy this morning.  (the talk is right now, but because I am in meetings, I cannot listen at the moment)  He’s talking about his article for next month’s The Atlantic entitled, ” China’s Way Forward.”  But I figured that some of you may be interested.  Details about the program and link after the jump.

You can find more information here.  I believe the mp3 will be up shortly, so you can listen to the 1 hour discussion.  Here is KQED’s description:

James Fallows on China’s Economy

Does the global economic crisis spell doom for China? Not according to James Fallows, national correspondent for The Atlantic. Fallows joins us to discuss China’s current economic situation, and how Chinese entrepreneurs are turning hard times into opportunities. Fallows wrote the cover story for the April 2009 issue of The Atlantic, an article entitled “China’s Way Forward.” His latest book is “Postcards from Tomorrow Square: Reports from China.”

Host: Scott Shafer

It should be an interesting program given the gloom and doom that everyone is talking about here in the States.  My friends are calling it the “global meltdown”.  And while I am not quite as pessimistic, people are worried here every time they check CNN.com.  This should be an interesting take on why China is poised to ride out the worldwide recession better than anyone else.

UPDATED: mp3 is now up at the KQED page.
