China's Indo-Pacific Challenge: How Should the West Respond? with Tony Abbott AC

Event description

  • Open to the public

Former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott assesses the geopolitical challenge that China poses in the Indo-Pacific and how Western countries should respond. While no one can know whether the chance of an assault on Taiwan is 10 percent or 50 percent, he warns that the danger is high enough for countries to be alarmed. The natural tendency among democracies to assume business-as-usual amounts to sleepwalking into crisis. Abbott lays out the larger security problem and sketches options to address.
