China expert puts US relations on the couch

Stephen Roach says one of the problems with Sino-US relations is that nobody in the Barack Obama administration fully understands China.

The former chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia believes this makes the issues that arise between the world's two largest economies difficult to resolve.

"What concerns me is there is no real expert on China, its system, its economy and its people at high levels of the executive branch of the Obama administration," he says.
