Is China a Champion of Globalization?
China's going on a charm offensive starting with international finance people. They're not really becoming pro globalist, but they're talking up a game about pro globalism. China was being very economic nationalist in the 2010s and pretending to be this champion of free trade because that allowed it to score points against the idiotic Trump administration.
