Tensions between the US and China have been rising for the better part of a decade, if not longer with President Obama’s executing his ‘Pivot to Asia’ and President Trump waging trade and technology wars, and amid the pandemic, a New Cold War against China and President Biden waging it with as much if not greater zeal.

This panel of left experts on China from Canada, the US and China is designed to spark off precisely that conversation.
