I’m very pleased to be giving talk of China’s Military Rise next week at the School of Oriental and African Studies, China Center, University of London.

All welcome and you can register here

China’s military rise has led to a “new Cold War” . With risks in both underestimating and overestimating China’s military might – getting the numbers right is important first sound policy and strategy. As in the Cold War, however, strong interest group voices and a misunderstanding of economic measurement, have muddied the picture.

So how much has has China really closed the gap, and what does it mean? Join me at the SOAS China Institute at The University of London – all welcome!
