Virtual Roundtable: The Elements of the China Challenge

— The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated tensions in the US-China relationship but, even before this time, these two great powers have competed for dominance in a number of spheres, including economics, technology and military superiority.

Can the current tensions between the US and China be traced back to the foundations of their governmental systems? What are the intellectual elements that have shaped the President Xi Jinping’s government and how do these ideas impact China’s global strategy?
