World Review: America, China, and the Avoidable War (Replay)

About This Episode

The evolution of the United States and China relationship has global ramifications. From the war in Ukraine and Asia Pacific security to climate change and economic growth, solutions to a host of global challenges could hinge on the ability of the world’s two superpowers to manage their differences constructively. Kevin Rudd, a former Australian prime minister who has studied, lived in, and worked with China for more than forty years, joins Council President Ivo Daalder to demystify both nations’ geopolitical objectives and consider what it will take to avoid a catastrophic conflict.

Copies of Kevin Rudd’s book, Avoidable War: the Dangers of a Catastrophic Conflict between the US and Xi Jinping's China, are available to purchase through our local book partner, The Book Cellar.
