China's Global Ambitions

BBC World Service - The Real Story, China's Global Ambitions

Is China’s regional and global policy an opportunity for economic co-operation?

Is China’s regional and global policy an opportunity for economic co-operation or a threat to its neighbours and global partners?

Carrie Gracie asks how far China’s regional and global policy presents an opportunity for economic co-operation or a threat to its neighbours and global partners? Is China - as its leader, Xi Jinping, insists - a 'civilised lion' or will it prove to be a dangerous predator? As the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits Beijing, we hear the views from inside China and discuss challenges, internal and external, to the country’s global ambition.
