Under the direction of Xi Jinping, China has embarked on an effort to undermine American global economic and political leadership. Hudson Senior Fellow Thomas J. Duesterberg’s new study, China’s Economic Weakness and Challenge to the Bretton Woods System: How Should the US Respond?, lays out how the faltering Chinese economy provides the United States with leverage to push back on Xi’s aggressive and insidious program.

Hudson Institute will host a panel of leading China experts to discuss the findings of this study.
