China in the Wake of the Party Conference
National University Sanford Center Auditorium, 11355 N. Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla
Cost: $20
Is China the rising world power? China’s recently concluded 19th Communist Party Conference established President Xi Jing Ping as one of the most powerful leaders since Mao but also moved to institutionalize Xi’s political, economic, and security policies. China expert Dr. Shirk is a research professor and chair of the 21st-century China Center at UCSD. She is one of the most influential experts on U.S.-China relations and Chinese politics. Dr. Shirk’s book China: Fragile Superpower helped frame the policy debate on China in the U.S. as well as other countries. She will dissect the results of the conference and analyze its impact on U.S.-China relations.
