The topic for October 8, 2024 is U.S. - China Trade Rivalry. China’s economic rise and its current policies of increasing the role of the state in the economy have led some U.S. policymakers to seek to deny China access to U.S. technology and investment. This is seen as a necessary corrective to decades of predatory Chinese economic policies. Is this a wise strategy, and how effective can it be?The topic review is Chapter 4 of the briefing book: Technology denial and Sino-American rivalry.

The October 8, 2024 discussion will be held at 12:30 PM at Wesley Enhanced Living 100 Halcyon Drive, Media, 19063 in their Art Room. If you wish, attendees can bring a bag lunch or purchase food at the Bistro Cafe located at the facility.
