Made in China: When US-China interests converged to transform global trade

How did China—the world’s largest communist nation—converge with global capitalism? And when did this occur? In this event, ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ historian Dr. Elizabeth Ingleson argued that this convergence began in the early 1970s, when the United States and China re-opened trade and the interests of US capitalists and the Chinese state gradually aligned: at the expense of US labor and aided by US diplomats.
