Join our webinar on US-China competition from the perspective of the financial markets.
The most consequential great power relationship of the 21st century is that of China and the United States. Countless commentators assert regularly that Beijing and Washington are now firmly locked in a trajectory of strategic competition in military, economic and technological domains. A perspective that is not commonly examined, however, relates to the role of financial markets in enabling and constraining US-China competition.
How does international finance intersect with geopolitics in the 21st century? What role do financial markets play in the accelerating rivalry between China and the US? Following the publication of James Fok’s book, Financial Cold War: A View of Sino-US Relations from the Financial Markets, LSE IDEAS China Foresight hosts a webinar to analyse the impact of financial markets on the creation and amplification of US-China competition.
