China and the U.S., racing to the top or to the bottom?

45 years into the China-US diplomatic relationship, the two countries have been navigating through some rough waters in recent years. Are the two countries on an inevitable collision course? Can the two countries be in a competition racing to the top, or does it have to be a race to the bottom? Joining us today is Ms. Susan Thornton, a retired senior U.S. diplomat with almost three decades of experience with the US State Department in Eurasia and East Asia. Ms. Thornton is currently a Senior Fellow at the Yale Law School Paul Tsai China Center.
