February 25, 2022
Veteran journalists Jane Perlez and Scott Tong talked about their new radio series and their own experiences on reporting from China for The New York Times and Marketplace Radio. The series is being broadcast by NPR and WBUR and will be available for download.
About the Series
With money, power and political standing at stake, America’s relationship with China is tenuous. But it wasn’t always that way. The Great Wager is a five-part series that tells the story of the extraordinary encounter that brought these two countries together, the secret collaborations born from that meeting — and the reverberations we’re still feeling today.
Video is also avilable on our YouTube channel.
