Join us for a great Asia Society tradition: Our end-of-year discussion with experts from across Asia, for a look at the year to come. What will be the most important developments in Asia for 2021? What will the incoming Biden Administration mean, for different issues and countries in Asia? And what should we expect from the continent’s perennial “hot spots,” from North Korea to Afghanistan, Iran to the South China Sea? Above all, what might life look like, after the pandemic? Moderated by Asia Society Executive Vice President Tom Nagorski.
