"China’s Indo-Pacific Challenge: How Should the West Respond?" with Tony Abbott AC

Presented by ASU SCETL in partnership with PCFR

Friday, March 22, 2024

2:00 to 3:30 p.m.

Marston Exploration Theater, ISTB-4, 781 S Terrace Rd, Tempe

Former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott assesses the geopolitical challenge that China poses in the Indo-Pacific and how Western countries should respond. While no one can just whether the chance of an assault on Taiwan is 50 percent or 10 percent, he warns that the danger is high enough for serious countries to have thought it through. The natural tendency among democracies to assume business-as-usual amounts to sleepwalking into crisis. Abbott lays out the larger security problem and sketches options to address it.

Open to students, faculty, staff, and the general public. Refreshments will be served.
