Carnegie Global Dialogue: China and the Pacific Islands
Tue, January 23rd, 2024
Live Online
In recent years, Beijing has emerged as a key economic and security player for Pacific island nations. At the same time, Pacific island states face a multitude of challenges, from the impact of climate change to rising great power competition. How do Pacific island nations view China’s growing engagements and what are their priorities with Beijing? What are China’s goals and ambitions in the South Pacific? How will China’s relations with Pacific island countries evolve in the years to come?
Please join Carnegie China for the first event of the 2024 Carnegie Global Dialogue Series. Darshana Baruah will moderate a discussion with Satyendra Prasad and Denghua Zhang on China–Pacific islands relations.
