Making China Policy in an Era of Great Power Competition: Panel Discussion feat. Prof Todd Hall, Prof Kerry Brown, and Ruby Osman (OxIRSoc)
The UK and the U.S. facing the common challenge of a rising China acknowledge they need to cooperate, but how successfully have they put this agreement into action? Since coming to power, Donald Trump has created significant uncertainty in U.S. foreign policy, the transatlantic alliance, and global stability. What Trump’s return means for UK-China relations?

Join the panel of scholars and Oxford International Relations Society to discuss the alignment of UK and U.S. policies toward China, and to explore the future of the “special relationship” and UK’s China strategy in Trump 2.0 era.
