Interview with Stephen Orlins

In this interview with China-US Focus host James Chau, Ananth Krishnan, Director of the Hindu Group and former head of The Hindu’s China bureau, explores the strategic choices India is making to shape its role on the global stage, including its delicate balancing act between China and the United States. He addresses common misperceptions, particularly following Prime Minister Modi’s recent visit to China for the SCO Summit, and explains how India navigates major powers while prioritizing its own interests.

The China-United States Exchange Foundation cares about the issues impacting humanity, including climate change and climate justice. In this podcast, President James Chau speaks with Special Advisor for Global Goals Laura de Belgique. They discuss the link to health, the recent COP28 in Dubai, and collective action in 2024. Recorded in Bozeman, Montana.

We return this week with a special conversation with Kishore Mahbubani, the diplomat, academic, and author whose books help us understand and navigate the unfamiliar shifts overwhelming the world. ‘Has China Won?’ is his new release, about a country and a people he knows well, and the challenge it presents to American primacy. This, he describes as the foremost contest of the 21st century, where the US he writes has “abandoned” multilateralism, while China embraces it. Mr Mahbubani speaks with James Chau.

James Chau, host of At Large, the in-house podcast of China-US Focus, interviewed Peking University Professor Wang Jisi in Hong Kong, during which the prominent Chinese scholar of American studies discussed the recent media reports of FBI barring some Chinese scholars from visiting the U.S. over spying fears, the rise of racial profiling in the U.S. and racial discrimination across the world. Professor Wang also discussed the growing U.S.-China rivalry, the concerns that China is moving backward, and his optimism that China is ultimately moving in the right direction.

James Chau on March 24, 2019 interviewed Joseph Nye, University Distinguished Service Professor of Harvard Kennedy School, in Cambridge, MA. Professor Nye is also a contributor to China-US Focus.
