About this Event
Event Photos

Washington’s relations with Beijing have reached an ominous low ebb. Both American political parties have identified China as the country’s preeminent geopolitical challenger and, in the eyes of many, a systemic threat. What is driving this deterioration of Sino-American relations, and what are America’s strategic options in the face of Chinese power and ambition?

Join us for a timely discussion of this topic with Rana Mitter, ST Lee Chair in US-Asia Relations at the Harvard Kennedy School. This program will feature an expert presentation, live audience Q&A, and time for networking and discussion with other globally-oriented participants.

The program will be live-streamed to Zoom from 6:00-7:00 PM. To attend virtually, please register here.

This program is free and open to the public, but advance registration is required.
