BookTalk: China in the 21st Century

| Asia Program

About the Event

In this BookTalk based on the fully revised and updated third edition of their book, China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know, Wasserstrom and Cunningham will provide cogent answers to urgent questions regarding the world's newest superpower and offer a framework for understanding China's meteoric rise from developing country to superpower. They will also explain unique aspects of Chinese culture, such as the one-child policy, and provide insight into Chinese-American relations, a subject that has become increasingly fraught during the Trump era.
