On Monday, March 24 at 2:00 p.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s Global China Hub will launch a new report from GCH Nonresident Fellow William Piekos, “How Beijing uses inducements as a tool of economic statecraft.“

Please join us for an online discussion on this issue featuring keynote remarks from Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), ranking member of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party. The Council will then host a discussion among distinguished experts including Gervasio Hsu, director of the Political Division at Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States; Peter Mattis, president of the Jamestown Foundation; Margaret Myers, managing director of Johns Hopkins SAIS Institute for America, China, and the Future of Global Affairs. China Hub Senior Director Melanie Hart will moderate.

The panel will explore how China uses economic inducements to pressure countries into supporting Beijing’s policies, particularly on Taiwan and its formal diplomatic partnerships. The panel will provide recommendations to counter China’s economic statecraft in ways that protect the interests of the United States and its allies.

The discussion will take place virtually. You can also view the event on the Youtube link above, on X, or on Facebook. To RSVP, register via the registration box on this page.
