Video chat: Jon Alterman on "The Middle East's View of the China Model"

I’m trying something new here - short video discussions with authors of books or reports that are relevant to the newsletter. Today I spoke with Jon Alterman, director of the Middle East program at Center for Strategic & International Studies in Washington. The discussion focused on his recent report, The Middle East’s View of the ‘China Model’, which was published last week. You can find the report here, and I highly recommend it. I also recommend you watch the video and let me know what you think. If it’s well received I’ll try to do it more regularly.
