China and Geopolitics: The Global Contest Heats-up

Monday 10.02.2025

Summary

Please note this lecture was only available to watch live.

A global economic and strategic contest between China and the West has been developing for years, and with re-elected US President Trump imposing sweeping tariffs on China, and Beijing responding in kind, the contest may now be accelerating. Hagai will explore these dynamics in this lecture, and how things may play out in the short and medium term.
