About this talk

Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in Conversation with the Economist's Geopolitics editor David Rennie. The global order is shifting and the relationship between the United States and China sits at its centre. Join Dr Kevin Rudd, Global President and CEO of Asia Society, former Australian Prime Minister and leading China analyst, in conversation with David Rennie, The Economist's former Beijing bureau chief, for a timely evening at the Frontline Club examining what comes next for Trump, Xi Jinping and the West. As Washington and Beijing compete for economic, technological and strategic influence, what does the next phase of their rivalry look like? Can the West navigate an increasingly contested world and what happens if confrontation replaces cooperation? From trade and technology to Taiwan, alliances and the future of global power, Rudd and Rennie will examine the forces reshaping the international order and what they mean for the world beyond Washington and Beijing.
