In foreign policy circles, it has become conventional wisdom that the United States and China are running a “superpower marathon” that may last a century. But the sharpest phase of that competition will be a decade long sprint. The Sino-American contest for supremacy won’t be settled anytime soon. Yet history and China’s recent trajectory suggest that the moment of maximum danger is just a few years away.

This event, which was be held virtually using Zoom webinar, featured Professor Michael Beckley, Associate Professor in the Political Science Department at Tufts University, and author of “Unrivaled: Why America Will Remain the Worlds Sole Superpower” which was published by Cornell University Press. Professor Beckley discussed the complex relationship between the U.S. and China and why the competition between these nations will peak this decade.
