Starting tonight (Wednesday the 9th) in the U.S., the Discovery Channel will be airing a special series on the economic growth in China and what it means for the U.S. Most of the filming is done in our favorite city, the Chonx! Thanks to Dan over at the China Law Blog for the tip.
Here is a breakdown of the program schedule for those who can watch it when it airs (once there are clips available online I’ll be sure to post them here)

“I wish that people who think they have no interest in or concern about China would just give it a try,” said Koppel, who has been producing long-form programs for Discovery since retiring from ABC in 2005. “Our future is so tied together with China’s future, and [the Chinese] get it. . . . The greatest tragedy of all would be if they keep plowing away at this and we become so relaxed about the permanence of America’s place in the world that we fail to see that there are people breathing down our necks.” (See article in LA Times)
If Ted Koppel thinks we should pay more attention to China, who are we to argue?
