Episode notes

There is a degree of disbelief on the western side that china is doing this. We think scores of times, the canadians have talked about 60 missions that have had trouble. And so basically, the chinese let the crew go in exchange for this letter expressing regret. It would bea disaster for all of us if we had an accident. Can we talk about how to fly safely close to each other? The safe distance that we want is thousands of mile away. You have no business being close to our shores.

Hints are turning to hard data: economic slowdowns are coming. We ask about the threat of recessions in different regions and about the effects they may have. The reckless behaviour of China’s fighter pilots is just one reflection of the country’s distrust of the West. And a haircut gone wrong leads to a lesson that challenges textbook economics.
