Beijing and D.C. wonder what the other is thinking Kevin Rudd, Former PM Australia - Part 2
In Part 2 of this Business Class conversation, we look at the backstory of the US -China Trade War. Kevin Rudd, former Australian Prime Minister says \u201cI worry that the lines of communication are shutting down.\u201d Using his background as a Sinologist, he notes that both Presidents are looking at the politics of the confrontation. And as, \u201cThe impact of a shuddering halt to US \u2013 China trade would be profound,\u201d feels that a resolution and a declared victory from both sides could be an expected result. He adds, this dual victory is partly possible as, \u201cThe US President has a remarkable ability to re-describe reality.\u201d\n\nKevin Rudd is currently the President of the Asia Society Policy Institute. \n\nThe interview was conducted by Dick Drobnick, Director of the USC IBEAR MBA Program.
