The Hoover Project on China’s Global Sharp Power invites you to China's Chance to Lead: Acquiring Global Influence via Infrastructure Development and Digitalization on Wednesday, April 26, 2023 from 12:00 - 1:15 pm PT.
How is China acquiring global influence? How does China align with autocracies as partners to its global ambitions? And how is China using technology imports and the spread of Chinese technical standards to assert dominance over the emerging digital economy? Richard Carney will explore these questions in a talk based on findings from his forthcoming book with Cambridge University Press, China's Chance to Lead.
