The Debate

China is the new god of global economics. Certainly, the days of effortless American dominance are over. With a population almost one and a half times that of Europe and the US combined will we live in a China-shaped shadow? And what of the economic system the West has fostered and the democracy it holds dear?

The Panel

Oxford historian and broadcaster Rana Mitter, FT columnist Gideon Rachman, China commentator Isabel Hilton, and historian Robert Bickers weigh the consequences of the rise of a 21st century superpower.

The ignorance and prejudice of the Indian gentleman and British lady is incredible to behold considering their eminence.

Indians are better at talking than doing as doing as evidenced by India's development since 1947!

It's not new to hear about China's economic development, however, I don't think it has yet sunk in to the Western psyche, especially with regards to the USA and possibly other economic superpowers. Rana Mitter talking about China's 'messy society' is very interesting and I do wonder how this will all pan out if as Gideon Rachman says China will still emerge as a superpower.
