China's PR Problem

While the Olympic torch makes its way to Beijing people around the world are protesting many of China's practices. Larry and his guests discuss how China is dealing with the negative publicity it's receiving because of their relations with Tibet and Taiwan, their citizens' lack of individual freedoms, and their choice to do business with Sudan. Will the bad PR affect China's business practices, human rights policies, diplomatic relations, and the Olympics themselves? Larry's guests include David Wallechinsky, Vice President of the International Society of Olympic Historians, Jeffrey Bader, Senior Fellow and Director of the John L. Thornton China Center at the Brookings Institution, General John Fugh, Chairman of the Committee of 100, and Susan Shirk, Director of the UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation.
