featuring
Dexter Tiff Roberts
Senior Fellow, Atlantic Council
As the Chinese Communist Party prepares for its big meeting in Beijing, Xi Jinping shows no sign of backing away from his heavy-handed pursuit of Zero Covid or statist vision for China's future. At the same time, a host of challenges including soaring youth unemployment, cash-strapped and leveraged local governments, and an economy in decline, are testing China and could derail Xi Jinping 's ambitious plans.

He has a Bachelor's in Political Science from Stanford University, a Master's of International Affairs from Columbia University, and studied Chinese at National Taiwan Normal University. Roberts' first book, The Myth of Chinese Capitalism, was an Economist “best book of the year” for 2020. He publishes a weekly newsletter Trade War on Chinese business and politics.

China Seminars
The China Seminar was established by Dr. Daniel W.Y. Kwok in 1977. Under his guidance, it became a signature program of the Friends of the East-West Center (FEWC) in 2009. The program provides an informal venue for China experts, such as scholars, diplomats, and journalists, to present talks on aspects of China that interest the community and members of the Friends.
