Perspectives of China- Podcast

I've spent part of this morning listening to a podcast lecture organized by Folger on the subject of foreign impressions of China. The three panelists are Rachel DeWoskin, author of Foreign Babes in Beijing and a former actress in the Chinese soap opera of the same name, Orville Schell, the distinguished China scholar and author of many books, and our man James Fallows.

The lecture is informal and funny; all three authors recount humorous stories of their experiences in the country as well as observations they've made. In particular, their account of how the world looks from the Chinese perspective is well worth listening to.
