Investigative journalist Pepe Escobar on the Eurasian world and how it looks different from Beijing

Guest host Per Fagereng interviews investigative journalist Pepe Escobar, the roving correspondent for Asia Times/Hong Kong, an analyst for RT, and a TomDispatch regular. They will talk about Escobar's recent articles on the how the world looks different when viewed from Beijing. 

Pepe Escobar is TomDispatch’s peripatetic wanderer on the Eurasian mainland, which he’s dubbed "Pipelineistan."  He's also visited other spots along the future “new Silk Roads” that China wants to establish all the way to Western Europe.  He offers a vision of a different Eurasian world than the one reflected in news reports in this country.
