Show Notes
In this episode, Dr. Bourgeois and Mr. Miller welcome Dr. Carrie Currier from TCU to discuss China's geopolitical position - with their neighbors and with the west. In the process, the hosts and guest discuss what lies in store for China in the coming years, from growing tensions surrounding North Korea and Taiwan as well as their attempts to influence developing countries. The three also serve up a little tennis talk.
Dr. Currier is the director of the North Texas National Consortium for Teaching About Asia - for teachers, a free class offered each school year on all topics related to East Asia, covering all aspects of life, from history and language to pop culture and philosophy. More information can be found at www.nctasia.org.
