Speakers:
The Chinese Communist Party continues to persecute religious minorities and commit countless human rights abuses. Despite China’s attempts to mask its atrocities, evidence indicates that Beijing is committing mass sterilizations, separating children from their families, and forcing those who dare to practice the religion of their choice into labor camps. What are the implications of these atrocities for American national security strategy?
Please join Hudson Institute Senior Fellow and Director of the Center for Religious Freedom Nina Shea and Media Fellow Jeremy Hunt as they discuss this important challenge.
