YANIS VAROUFAKIS, the well-known Greek anti-austerity economist and academic, who served as the minister of finance in the left-wing Syriza government from January to July 2015, has had some interesting things to say about China, both in its relations with Greece and in its role in the wider world economy after the 2008 financial crash.
At the same time as he was leading the fraught negotiations with Greece’s creditors, Varoufakis was also negotiating a deal with China.
His experiences with the Troika — the European Commission, the IMF and the European Central Bank — on the one hand and with Chinese officials on the other could not have been more different.
