China Takes Over the World
In 2014, Ms. Ma hosted a radio show called China Takes Over the World to explore the myriad issues related to China’s growing economic, political and military power.
While many in the West feared–and many in China hoped–that China will dominate the world in the 21st century, this show sought to highlight the issues related to the rise of China’s global influence.
China Takes Over the World aired on Radio 3 of RTHK, Hong Kong’s public broadcast station, and featured discussions with guests who were business executives, academics, policymakers, journalists and experts from Asia, America and beyond.
