Wave Media Season 1 Episode 3

Following the Plaza Accord in 1985, the United States snapped the fast growth of Japanese economy and turned Japan into its puppet without independence. However, US began to see backlashes and challenges when it tried to implement the same hegemonic diplomacy in Asia four decades later. NATO drove into a dead end when it tried to extend its influence and take Asia to under its wing. In addition, United States seemed to lose one of the biggest airplane deals after China signed a 292-plane order with Airbus, instead of with Boeing. Charles Liu and Einar Tangen talks about everything America is messing up now, and more.
