U.S. and China – Edging Toward the Brink?

Relations between the United States and China have become increasingly tense over the past few years. Trade wars have escalated, U.S. national security experts are bracing as China bulks up its military power and artificial intelligence looms over all. Four experts with varying perspectives debate how to interpret the countries’ recent actions and speculate on where this relationship might be headed. London School of Economics professor Keyu Jin joins Matt Pottinger from research firm Garnaut Global, Tsinghua University economics professor David Daokui Li and U.S. Naval War College professor Andrew Erickson for a lively and informative discussion moderated by historian Niall Ferguson.
