What are the strengths and weaknesses, durability, adaptability and potential longevity of China’s Communist Party? In his latest book, David Shambaugh argues that although the party has been in a protracted state of atrophy, it has undertaken a number of adaptive measures aimed at reinventing itself and strengthening its rule. In particular, he describes the lessons the CCP took from the collapse of the Soviet Union and how these have helped to shape their reforms. What are the implications for future reforms? For relations with the United States and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region? Please join us for a discussion of these and other relevant issues.
