Asia Rising
Course Full. To go onto the waiting list, please e-mail us at learningexperiences@bell.net
It’s not just about China, it’s Asia as a whole. We’ll discuss what the world, our world, will look like when, for the first time in 250 years, the world’s economic centre of gravity is in Asia and the dominant power is not white and English speaking. Will the biggest companies, the biggest deals, the most advanced technology be in Asia? Will Chinese become the global language, alongside and then replacing English? Will Chinese universities be the most prestigious? Will Chinese tourists swamp our cities? (sorry, already happened). Will liberal democracy survive or will we have to move to authoritarianism to survive (i.e. the Trump doctrine)? Will our standard of living deteriorate or improve? Will we, over time, become a backwater in the global economy with all the action in Asia? Is that necessarily bad?
