Mark Atkeson is the author of 'Risky Business in Rising China', a book chronicalling three decades of business, tech, and politics in China.

TikTok, ByteDance... China seems to be always in the news. Sometimes for good, sometimes for... less than good? Either way, I wanted to explore the real truth of China's rise and its role in shaping the world of today and tomorrow.

In this episode, Mark shares his unique experiences and observations from his extensive career, highlighting the significant lift of 800 million people out of poverty, the rise of China's private sector, and the critical economic ties between the U.S. and China. This episode covers a range of compelling topics including the transformation of China's automotive industry, the cultural work ethics of Silicon Valley and China, the great firewall, and the future of U.S.-China relations.
