Senator Rick Scott

U.S. Senator for Florida

Hudson Institute will host U.S. Senator Rick Scott for a discussion on the great-power competition between the United States and China.

As highlighted in recent Hudson reports, China is amid an economic slowdown and attempting to increase other nations' dependence on its financial and developmental practices. Compounding these factors, it is beset with the coronavirus that has spread globally.

The discussion will focus on what the U.S. can continue to do to expose the corruption and disinformation campaign of the Chinese Communist Party, its abuses of human rights in China, and how the U.S. can position itself to remain the world's most reliable and trustworthy ally.

NOTE: This event is open to the press. All members of the media should RSVP to press@hudson.org.
