DOES THE 21st CENTURY BELONG TO CHINA?
The Munk Debate on China
Ferguson and Li vs Kissinger and Zakaria

Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and CNN's Fareed Zakaria go head-to-head with international historian Niall Ferguson and world-renowned economist David Daokui Li on the key geopolitical issue of the century: the rise of China.

Highly electrifying and thoroughly engrossing, the Munk Debate on China is the first formal public debate Dr. Kissinger has participated in on China's future. This volume includes exclusive interviews with Henry Kissinger and David Daokui Li.
