Episode: Democrat Tim Walz's long-standing China ties
Description: Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz was introduced in broad strokes to Americans at the party's national convention in late August. His folksy framing as "Coach Walz" resonated with the crowd, but what many might not know about is his long history with China.
From his life in the United States’ Midwest to the crossroads he faced in Beijing, NHK WORLD-JAPAN takes a deeper look into the influences that may have shaped Walz's world view and how he interacts with people.
