No Limits: The Inside Story of China’s War with the West
VIEW EVENT DETAILSChina Wise book series
Xi Jinping is emerging from the 20th Party Congress stronger than ever in China and more focused than ever on pressing China’s interests despite pushback from the U.S. and its allies. Technology has become a key point of contention in the U.S.-China relationship, serving as the connective tissue between economic, military, and political competition. How has the U.S. managed China’s quest for technological superiority and self-sufficiency to date? And what does that story tell us about how the U.S. and China will clash in the future?
Please join us in person on November 21 to hear from Andrew Small on his new book, No Limits: The Inside Story of China’s War with the West, in conversation with Susan Jakes, Editor of ChinaFile at Asia Society’s Center on U.S.-China Relations. This conversation will be the latest event in the China Wise book series, co-organized by the Asia Society Center on U.S.-China Relations, the Asia Society Policy Institute, and its Center for China Analysis. Books will be available for sale at the event.
