In this week's episode, we will be talking about relations between China and the western world. China’s historical experience of war and conflict, deep ideological change, and revolution still deeply shape its reactions to the West. However, it is little understood in the wider world. Mr Rana Mitter from the Harvard Kennedy School will explore some major factors that have shaped China's social thought and diplomatic approach. Mr Mitter was invited by the Asia Global Institute to give a talk entitled “Reading China’s Future by Reading the Past: How China-West Relations are Being Shaped Today by Historical Thinking”.
