How China and California Collaborate and Compete for Our Future

Fri, September 20th, 2019

Washington, DC

Link Copied

Tensions between the world’s superpowers are mounting in Washington and Beijing. But between these hubs of high-level politics, an entirely new reality is emerging between China and the state of California, which have built deep and interdependent socioeconomic exchanges that reverberate across the globe. These interactions make California a microcosm of the twenty-first century relationship between these two strategic competitors.

Matt Sheehan will discuss his new book, The Transpacific Experiment: How China and California Collaborate and Compete for our Future. Carnegie’s Evan Feigenbaum will moderate.

This event is co-sponsored by the Paulson Institute.
