U.S. China Policy: How did we get here and where are we going

Former NSC China Director Matt Turpin will discuss outlines of U.S. China policy as the rivalry between Beijing and Washington has taken center stage in U.S. policymaking over the past decade.  He will provide his thoughts on some of the most critical issues as well as what is on the horizon over the next few years.
