Join us for a conversation with Dr. Suisheng Zhao, who will draw from his new book, “The Dragon Roars Back: Transformational Leaders and Dynamics of Chinese Foreign Policy,” to trace the dramatic shifts in China’s foreign policy since its founding in 1949 and the key roles played by Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping and Xi Jinping. Each of these transformational leaders reshaped foreign policy to better fit their aims for China. His presentation will focus on Xi Jinping’s concentration of power and its implications for Chinese foreign policy.
