Hosted by Aditya Ramanathan, research analyst at Takshashila Institution, with panellists Manoj Kawelramani, research fellow at Takshashila Institution, and Liselotte Odgaard, visiting senior fellow at Hudson Institute.

As China rises, it will use its power to market its authoritarian model of government. How does China export its norms and values today? And how does it influence politics in other countries? Has the Chinese model challenged the appeal of the liberal democratic model in Asia? What can the democracies do to reinvigorate it?
