A constant topic of discussion during Obama’s week-long visit to Asia is a nation he didn’t even visit: China. We have two guests with us to look closer at this trip and what it means for China.

He’s the President at the Center for National Policy. That’s a public policy think tank here in Washington. Before that he spent 20 years working on Capitol Hill.
