For the Fairbank Center’s 2024 Charles Neuhauser Memorial Lecture, we hosted Ambassador Robert E. Lighthizer, 18th U.S. Trade Representative (2017-2021), who argued that China’s goal to become the world’s number one power poses a strategic threat to the United States and explained why strategic decoupling is required to meet this challenge. Watch the full talk below, and also check-out our recent episode of The Policymakers Series featuring Ambassador Lighthizer with Fairbank Center Director Mark Wu.
