China On Top: How China Is Using America’s Playbook To Take Over The World is a one-hour
documentary exploring how China could become the globe’s economic and geopolitical leader.
It features Michael Pillsbury, the former Reagan and Bush-era Pentagon official President
Donald Trump described as, “probably the leading authority on China.” China on the Edge:
Challenges & Opportunities in the Middle Kingdom is a 25-minute mini-documentary
highlighting China’s incredible growth and the myriad of questions this raises for investors
worldwide. Produced for Mauldin Economics, the film features top China hands, including
Eurasia Group’s Ian Bremmer, Stratfor/Geopolitical Future’s George Friedman, GaveKal’s Louis
Gave and Michael Pettis from Peking University.
