Ted C. Fishman

Ted C. Fishman is a veteran journalist and former
commodities trader who has emerged as a leading expert on
the Republic of China and its development as a world power.
In his writing, Fishman is noted for taking seemingly
complex topics – particularly how global economic trends
influence people's everyday experiences – and making them
understandable and meaningful for a general audience. He
has been featured on ABC, CNN, Fox, the BBC, CNBC, PBS, NPR,
Public Radio International, and Sky News (UK), among many
others. Fishman also frequently consults local, state and
federal leaders concerned about how to navigate China’s
economic rise. A former floor trader and member of the
Chicago Mercantile Exchange, he ran his own trading firm
until 1992.
