Defining the Great Global Decoupling
VIEW EVENT DETAILSTrade tensions and the deeper conflicts on technology, economy, and geopolitics can lead to the possibility of China and America decoupling — creating two distinct, rival, economic, technological, and political systems with their own spheres of influences. In the Eighth Robert F. Ellsworth Memorial Lecture at the University of California San Diego, former Prime Minister of Australia and Asia Society Policy Institute President Kevin Rudd explains the arguments by American and Chinese hawks in this current dynamic and where they may take U.S.-China relations.
The event will start with a talk at 12:30 p.m., followed by a reception at 2 p.m.
