Transatlantic Perspectives: China’s Grand Strategy

What will China look like by 2050? How will U.S.-China relations change by 2050? These are the questions examined by the 2020 report titled China’s Grand Strategy: Trends, Trajectories, Long-Term Competition. In this Transatlantic Perspectives webinar, two of the report’s authors will summarize the genesis of the report, its findings, and the reaction to the report’s publication.
