The Chinese Are Trying to Save Themselves

On today's episode Walter Smolarek and Prof. Richard  Wolff discuss how demonization of China has gone into overdrive as the  country chooses its new leadership, and how a key component of this has  been increasingly strident advocacy for so-called  “economic decoupling” from China. And in fact, just ahead of China’s  Communist Party congress, the U.S. government unveiled a harsh blow to a  critical sector of trade.
