Hudson Institute’s China Center, the National Security Institute, and the International Republican Institute will cohost an event with human rights advocates and national security experts to address China’s escalating campaign of domestic and international repression.

The discussion will cover China’s use of economic sanctions, surveillance, and coercion to silence critics, especially those who risk their lives and freedom to advocate for democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.
