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.
