Program Description

Event Details

This three part series gives an in depth look at the history and geopolitics of China.

Today’s Topic: The Chinese Century. President Xi Jinping’s “China Dream” and his “One Belt One Road” plan is an economic empire in the making. He outlined his plans to the People’s Congress in October last year. Shipping choke points and Muslim militancy are major concerns. Rapprochement with Putin’s Russia would undo the historic US policy of “containment”.

Part of today’s presentation will be given over to Q and A.
