Lowy Institute ArchiveXi Jinping: The Backlash - Lowy Institute at NGV (Melbourne)
On August 5, the Lowy Institute held the Melbourne launch of the latest Lowy Institute Paper published by Penguin Random House Australia, Xi Jinping: The Backlash by Richard McGregor.
China’s president Xi Jinping has transformed China at home and abroad with a speed and assertiveness that few foresaw when he came to power in 2012. Finally, he is meeting resistance, both at home among disgruntled officials and disillusioned technocrats, and abroad from an emerging group of nations that are pushing back against China’s geopolitical and high-tech expansion. With the United States and China at loggerheads, Richard McGregor outlined Xi’s rise, and the backlash.
Richard McGregor, Lowy Institute Senior Fellow, is a leading expert on China’s political system and Asian geopolitics. He is the award-winning author of The Party: The Secret World of China’s Communist Rulers and Asia’s Reckoning: China, Japan and the Fate of US Power in the Pacific Century.
The Lowy Institute Paper launch and in-conversation was with Richard McGregor and Research Fellow Lydia Khalil and was followed by a Q&A.
This event was presented by Lowy Institute at the NGV.
All Lowy Institute public events are on the record and open for media attendance.
