This expert panel focuses on the ethics of engagement with China in the context of the Olympics. Will the Games have positive or negative effects on China? For example, will they help to bring press freedoms that will continue after the Games are over? What are the challenges of doing business in China?
The panel features author and democracy advocate Ian Buruma; Bob Corcoran of GE, a major Olympic sponsor; Counsellor Qi Qianjin of the Chinese Mission to the UN; and Minky Worden of Human Rights Watch and editor of a book about the Beijing Games. In addition, journalist Thomas Crampton videos in from Hong Kong on China's internet scene.
