World Affairs Council of the Monterey Bay presents "Looming Confrontation in the Indo-Pacific?"
Monday, June 26, 2023 (5:45 PM - 8:00 PM) (PDT)
Description
Monday, June 26th, 5:45 PM Registration, 6:15 PM Dinner, 6:45 PM Speaker Presentation U.S. policymakers are increasingly focused on China’s growing assertiveness and military build-up in the Indo-Pacific region. In a recent report to Congress, the Department of Defense described China’s navy as the “largest navy in the world and, by far, the largest of any country in East Asia.” This and other elements of China’s military modernization efforts have led to deepening the U.S.-China strategic and economic rivalry in the region. In Professor Russell’s presentation he will discuss the unfolding confrontation in the Indo-Pacific. Drawing on current research he is undertaking for the U.S. Navy, he will focus on the role of the U.S. Navy in meeting this challenge. To sign up for more information go to: WACMB
