Episode 2: Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future by Dan Wang

A book about #China that ends up being just as much about #America.
That's #Breakneck by Dan Wang — where Haricharan Mylaraiah, Arvind Mallik and I go deep on one of the most provocative books on global power written in recent years.
Dan Wang spent nearly a decade living inside China. What he brings back isn't a warning or a love letter — it's an honest, sometimes uncomfortable account of a country building at breathtaking speed, at extraordinary human cost. And a mirror held up to a country that used to build like that too.
We get into the big idea — engineers vs lawyers, China builds, America blocks — where it holds up, where it doesn't, the one-child policy, the India angle, and where all of this is headed. No clean conclusions. Just an honest conversation about a book worth arguing with.
