China and Southeast Asia: Balanced and Centered?

Past
 Roundtable

China is at once a vital economic partner to ASEAN countries and a potentially threatening and much larger neighbor. For China, the region to its south occupies important strategic space. How can these states keep their relations balanced and centered in turbulent times? Join us for the first Southeast Asia Forum virtual luncheon on October 14 for a discussion with Yun Sun, Marvin Ott, and Bill Wise.

This event is part of the Southeast Asia Forum Virtual Wednesday Luncheon Seminar Series. Usually held in person as small roundtables, these are now open to a larger audience as a virtual convening.
