The U.S. and China: Should Competition Trump Cooperation?
China has emerged as a powerful global competitor to the United States. Beijing has asserted itself militarily, diplomatically and economically. A stable U.S.-China relationship is in the best interest of both countries and world peace, but a revisionist China could threaten to topple the international liberal order established after the second World War.
Will Washington, D.C., and Beijing be able to steer their ships away from the brink of conflict, or is it possible for both countries to grow together and avoid great power conflict?
Hear and engage leading experts as they debate whether a competition should trump cooperation in the U.S.-China relationship — the latest installment of the McCain Institute's Debate and Decision Series.
Doors open at 5:15 p.m. with refreshments and the world-renowned McCain Institute popcorn.
Debaters include:
- Bonnie Glaser, Center for Strategic and International Studies
- Evan Medeiros, Georgetown
- Dan Blumenthal, American Enterprise Institute
- Derek Mitchell, National Democratic Institute — Invited
Moderated by Dr. Kurt Campbell, chairman of the Center for a New American Security; chairman and CEO of The Asia Group; 2018 McCain Institute Kissinger Fellow; former assistant secretary of state for east Asian and Pacific affairs.
Doors open at 5:15 p.m. with refreshments served. Debate begins at 6:00 p.m.
The event will also be available via live stream here. Follow the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #MIDebate, and submit questions for our panel of experts by tagging @McCainInstitute.
