We've heard it before, "power corrupts…absolute power corrupts, absolutely." So too does global dominance, British author Martin Jacques writes. Not only will China rise and eclipse the United States, the transition will be a traumatic one for Western powers. With a spotlight on President Obama's trip to Asia, we talk with Jacques about his book, "When China Rules the World."

Guest:

Martin Jacques, author of "When China Rules the World: The End of the Western World and the Birth of a New Global Order." He is a columnist for the UK's Guardian and research fellow at the London School of Economics.
