Description

What does Xi Jinping’s China mean for the West? How will Trump’s attitude towards Taiwan affect cross-strait relations? What are the implications of China’s recent shift from majority rural to majority urban population?

Such questions may form a starting point for this roundtable conversation, in which speakers will discuss China’s past and future in light of current global events.
