G6: "China: An Overview"

March 16, 2018  |  9:30-11:30 am

Description: One of the world’s four ancient civilizations, China is a challenging country to define. The dominant narrative across much of the world is of China as a rising hegemon, the next great superpower, a global economic powerhouse. But while it is true that China has experienced an astonishing transformation in its economic and geopolitical status over the past 30 years, this one-sided view of China fails to capture the complexity of the country and how it got to where it is today. Born in China, Dr. Colin Feng will give an overview of China’s rapid development, apparent plans for expansion, its spheres of influence, and important issues with the USA.
Designed for: Anyone interested in learning more about China and its culture
Facilitator: Coling Feng (Guest Presenter)
