China Airborne by James Fallows
China is industrializing and modernizing at a rapid rate, and as one of its closest U.S. neighbors living in a state dependent upon the aerospace industry, we are on the frontlines in more ways than one. Join us for a lively discussion on China's current path forward to command its own transportation infrastructure and aerospace industry.

“James Fallows has found a brilliant metaphor for China, and he is uniquely qualified to unspool the tale. Based on years of firsthand experience on the ground in China—and in cockpits around the world—this book showcases his gifts for deep reporting and analysis. Fallows doesn't simply bear witness; he unravels and dissects. For this vast country to achieve a leading role in the aerospace industry, it must attain standards of innovation, efficiency and precision that would signal a new era in the rise of a superpower. Has it attained that level? There is no better writer to find the answer, and Fallows has done it.”
Evan Osnos, contributor to The New Yorker
