Panel: "China Squeeze": Is it the new "China Threat" narrative?
About this episode
The episode discusses the concept of a 'China squeeze' and its implications for developing economies and the narrative of the 'China threat.'
Discussions in some Western media and policy circles have promoted the idea of a so-called "China squeeze," arguing that China's manufacturing strength is limiting industrialization opportunities for developing economies. Is the "China squeeze" a recycled version of the "China threat?" Does the West really worry about the Global South, or is this another zero-sum approach aimed at containing China's rise? Host Dou Hongyu is joined by Warwick Powell, Adjunct Professor at Queensland University of Technology, Professor John Gong of the University of International Business and Economics, and Li Lun, Assistant Professor of Economics at Peking University, to explore the questions.
