In their recent Foreign Affairs article, Kurt Campbell and Rush Doshi propose that US attempts to counter China can only be achieved through 'likeminded' countries pooling their technological, economic and military capabilities.

ACITI was pleased to host a discussion on the article with Professor James Laurencenson, Director of the Australia-China Relations Institute (ACRI) at the University of Technology Sydney and Dr Naoise McDonagh, MBA Director, School of Business and Law and Managing Editor, Law & Geoeconomics at Edith Cowan University. The discussion ranged from engaging with the geostrategic challenges to liberal trade policies to identifying US domestic economic policies as the sources of the US's relative technological, economic and military decline relative to China.
