At a time when Republicans and Democrats agree on very little, there is striking unity in DC about China. This week, we return to David Rennie in Washington DC, where he talks to senators and congressmen at the heart of China policymaking. We hear what brings the two parties together on China, and find out if this bipartisan consensus is as solid as it looks.
David Rennie, The Economist’s Beijing bureau chief, and Alice Su, our senior China correspondent, host. They speak to Mike Gallagher, the Republican chair of the House of Representatives’ China Select Committee and Chris Coons, a Democratic senator. Runtime: 31 min
