Has COVID-19 slowed the global shift in power from the western hemisphere to the eastern hemisphere? How has the pandemic impacted China’s economic growth relative to the world?

Now more than ever, Canada and its western allies must assess the trajectory of China’s role in Asia and the world in a post-COVID world.

In this event, we host a panel of 3 scholars from the University of British Columbia who will discuss the impact of COVID-19 on the global balance of power, assessing China’s role in Asia and in the world. The Master of Public Policy and Global Affairs Student Association, International Relations Student Relations, and Centre for Chinese Research cordially invite you to attend this timely and insightful panel discussion.
