This is my response to NPR’s Intelligence Squared U.S. debate on the proposition: “Beware the Dragon - A Booming China Spells Trouble for America.” Just thought I’d throw it out there. You can grab the podcast of the last season even though it’s over already. I’m not particularly knowledgeable about China, though I am interested in its history and the way that popular culture and digital media especially are aiding its economic growth and boosting its quality of life. Since I’m not a China scholar, I hope you’ll go easy on me if I come off as incredibly naive. I’m learning. This is just something I thought was interesting. Below, I’ve sort of paraphrased what I got from each speaker. Then I’ve responded after that. Feel free to respond.
