CGTN America : The Future is Asian Interview with Parag Khanna Part 1

We’re entering a new epoch, says global strategy adviser and author Parag Khanna. We are now in what Khanna calls the “Asian Century.”
With 4.5 billion people, Asia is the most populous continent, making the world 60 percent Asian. The new Asian system taking shape spans from Saudi Arabia to Japan, Russia to Australia, and Turkey to Indonesia, linked through trade, finance, infrastructure, and diplomatic networks that together represent 40 percent of global GDP.
“If we have an ahistorical view where we just look right now at this moment, we’d be saying China’s rise is the big story in the world,” said Khanna, author of The Future is Asian. “Actually, I would say that the Asianization of Asia, Asia coming back together, is the biggest story in the world.”
Khanna discusses how the rise of Asia means new values around business, politics and society.
