America vs. China

from Search Engine · host PJ Vogt

People review everything, but they almost never review what it’s like to live in another country. Until now.  We interview a writer who’s lived in China, covered China, and has had to choose between life here and there. What are the big misconceptions Americans have about China? How could America learn to build trains and bridges as fast as China does? And how should the two countries actually be copying each other?  Breakneck: China’s Quest to Engineer the Future by Dan Wang Support Search Engine!
