Description

The next CIC Victoria pub night will feature, courtesy of the Maritime Security Conference, Dr. Mohan Malik from the Asia Pacific Center for Security Studies, Hawaii. As Dr. Malik will explain, geopolitical equations are changing rapidly, bringing with them tectonic shifts in regional and global configurations of power. China’s rise touches on all the hot buttons issues of the day. His presentation, structured around some FAQs, myths, and puzzles will examine the implications of China’s grand strategy for both Asian security and international politics. The changing nature and future of China’s relations with major players will also be discussed. It will end with a discussion of alternative futures of China’s role in the Indo-Pacific in 2035.
