Join Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Miles Yu and former U.S. Ambassador of Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Tonga, and Tuvalu, Joseph Cella, to discuss American diplomacy and the great power competition with China in the South Pacific. This region is fast becoming a new frontier of a global fight against the autocratic model of governance that the Chinese Communist Party is endeavoring to spread worldwide.
These experts will also discuss: the strategic value of the South Pacific islands to both China and the U.S.; pandemic diplomacy; the Five Eyes alliance in the Southern Hemisphere; Taiwan’s international space in the region; and the People’s Republic of China’s ambition and strategic moves in the Pacific islands. Please join Hudson Institute for this important discussion.
Join Hudson Institute Senior Fellows Michael Doran and Ludovic Hood, Research Fellow Zineb Riboua, and Behnam Ben Taleblu, senior director of the Iran Program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, for a timely discussion about the conflicts in the region and America’s strategic and diplomatic paths forward.
Join Senior Fellow Dr. Rebeccah Heinrichs and Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) for a fireside discussion on how Congress can guide American strategy, the need to modernize the defense industrial base, and the vital role of allies and partners in an unstable international environment.
Join Senior Fellow Michael Doran for a candid conversation with H.E. Narek Mkrtchyan, ambassador of the Republic of Armenia to the United States of America, as they discuss the developments, challenges, and opportunities defining the US-Armenia relationship.
Please join Hudson Institute’s China Center as Miles Yu hosts a panel with key members of Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan and the Democratic Progressive Party to examine Taiwan’s mobilization efforts against the CCP’s increasing threats.
