China is Changing While we Watch

China is Changing While we Watch; These Changes Are Political, Economic and Technological (Global Connections - recorded on 6/20/2025). The host for this show was Jay Fidell. The guest was Manny Menendez.

The discussion was: Manny Menendez, an old China hand and businessman, helps us understand the dramatic changes that are underway in China, including political and geopolitical changes, economic and business changes, and military and technological changes. What are Xi Jinping's prospects for retirement and succession. What are China's concerns and plans for dealing with Trump and his tariffs. What are China's plans for expanded alliances and trading partners in an increasingly unstable global environment.

The takeaway was: China is the number two economy in the world and the most significant rival of the United States. We need to be fully informed about how China is doing and the internal and external changes that are now taking place in China.
