WACT Speaker Series | A Competition of Competence: The U.S. - China Battle for the Asian Century

Many analysts assert that the U.S. and China are in a competition. The Biden administration calls it a strategic competition. Our speaker, Sam Kaplan, calls it a Competition of Competence. But what are they competing about? How does China view its role in the competition and in the world? How do we measure who is winning? Sam will answer these questions and more on March 8th.
