Intelligence Squared U.S. Debates: Are China and the U.S. Long Term Enemies?

Airs Sunday, January 3, at 6 p.m. Is China’s ascendancy a threat to the U.S.? China’s rise as an economic and military power, coupled with its aggression in the South China Sea, have led some to call for a major re-balancing of U.S. policy and strategy. Can China be trusted to act as a responsible global stakeholder? And will they be a long-term ally, or adversary? The debaters are Peter Brookes, Robert Daly, John Mearsheimer, and Kevin Rudd.
