Description:

Today's guest speaker, Megan Russell will discuss "Misperception, Threat Inflation, & US-China Relations"

There is a broad bipartisan consensus in Washington characterizing China as a significant threat to U.S. national security. This prevailing viewpoint has prompted substantial military expansion and increased the potential for a large-scale, catastrophic conflict in the Pacific. What is fueling this belief, and to what extent does China constitute a genuine threat?

Megan Russell is CODEPINK's China is Not Our Enemy Campaign Coordinator. She graduated from the London School of Economics with a Master’s Degree in Conflict Studies and has spent one year living in China.Topic:
