Join Hudson Institute Senior Fellows Peter Rough and Michael Doran and Xiyue Wang, the Princeton Ph.D. candidate who was detained for more than three years in Iran, and Bernard Haykel, one of America’s leading experts on the Middle East, for a discussion on China’s Middle East strategy and its partnership with Iran.

The rise of Chinese influence is one of the key foreign policy challenges of our time, and the strengthened ties between America’s adversaries poses a clear threat to U.S. interests. What does the 25-year agreement between Tehran and Beijing mean for both powers, and for the wider MENA region? Join our panelists for this timely discussion.
