#194: Keep Your Eyes On China—David Mulroney

Former Canadian Ambassador to China (2009-2012) David Mulroney, thinks Canada and other western countries need to do more to engage both the people of China and the communist dictatorship under which they live.

Mulroney’s insights, from a Canadian perspective, will ring true for China-watchers in America and everywhere. The CCP may not take over the world, but that’s their basic course heading.
