Marshall and Mike discuss a major conclusion of our multi-part series about how the United States always has misunderstood China — a much broader conclusion that U.S. difficulties in dealing with the world come down to a U.S. lack of cultural literacy. This portion of that discussion is excerpted from Episode 211 ("Another Day, Another Country, Another Misunderstanding"), the concluding episode of the United States of Amnesia podcast series "Tea, Drugs, and Jesus," which examines the U.S. experience in China from the 1780s through 1972.
