Munk Dialogue with Graham Allison
Munk Dialogue with Graham Allison
The deteriorating relationship between the US and China.
It’s no secret that relations between China and the US are at an all time low. And at the center of this fraught relationship is the question of Taiwan: China is moving closer to asserting its territorial rights over the island, while US President Joe Biden has pledged to defend Taiwan, even going so far as sending defensive weapons to protect the country against a Chinese invasion.
How should a superpower like the US respond to a rising power like China? Foreign policy expert Graham Allison joins us for a wide reaching conversation about this important moment in history, and how shared interests in the climate, technology, finance, and health could force these powerful rivals to become unwilling partners.
“If the US said they were going to recognize Taiwan as an independent country, it’s quite likely that Beijijng would act violently…that’s the fastest path to getting us to nuclear war”
