FP subscribers can send in their questions in advance. Join FP’s Ravi Agrawal for a discussion with experts on both sides of the Atlantic: Cindy Yu, an assistant editor of the Spectator and host of its podcast Chinese Whispers and James Palmer, author of FP’s weekly China Brief newsletter. What exactly are these differences, and how will they impact the world’s relations with China? The trans-Atlantic alliance NATO has formally declared China a strategic threat, but there are also emerging gaps in how various European capitals and Washington want to engage with Beijing.
