Engaging China in Arms Control

Tue. March 8th, 2022
Live Online

China is dramatically enhancing its nuclear arsenal and military capabilities. Practitioners in the United States, Japan and elsewhere increasingly wonder what could motivate Chinese leaders to explore arms control as a way to mitigate the costs and instabilities of arms racing and potential conflict.  

We invite you to a two-part discussion of this challenge on March 8, from 19:00 to 20:30 EST.  

Watch live on YouTube.
