TOKYO -- Jared Diamond, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book "Guns, Germs, and Steel," thinks China needs a democratic transformation to solve its complex challenges.
"The essence of democracy is that you can discuss anything even if the government doesn't like it," Diamond said in an interview in Tokyo, where he was attending this week's Nikkei Global Management Forum. The impeachment probe of U.S. President Donald Trump is one example.
