 China’s Global Emergence"  Who: Brook Larmer, Newsweek bureau chief in 
 Buenos Aires, Miami, Hong Kong, and Shanghai; author of Operation Yao Ming  
 Event: The NBA’s 7’5” all-star Yao Ming has changed the face of 
 basketball, revitalizing a league desperate for a new hero while becoming a 
 multimillionaire pitchman for Reebok and McDonald’s. But his journey to 
 America—like that of his forgotten foil, Wang Zhizhi—began long before 
 he set foot on the world’s brightest stage. Journalist and author Brook 
 Larmer joins the World Affairs Council to share a unique glimpse of the 
 story behind NBA giant Yao Ming, the Chinese sports machine that created 
 him and the East-West struggle over China's most famous son.    When:
