March 4: Gordon Chang joins Speaker Series

The Department of Political Science’s Speaker Series wraps up on Monday, March 4 with a talk from author, TV commentator, speaker and internationally renowned expert Gordon Chang.

“Chang, author of The Coming Collapse of China, believes that China, more than any other country, will drive events in the coming decades,” explains Charles Burton, Associate Professor in Brock’s Department of Political Science, who is also an expert on China. According to Chang, Chinese ruler Xi Jinping’s “breathtaking ambition” has been raising eyebrows around the globe. He cautions that China’s domination of our era could spell big trouble.

Burton feels it is particularly exciting for Brock to welcome “one of America’s most well-known China analysts” at this important time when “Canada is in Beijing’s crosshairs.”

“Many say no one better understands Beijing’s internal weaknesses than Chang,” says Burton. “And no one has talked more than he has about how these weaknesses are driving China’s dangerous behaviours.”

Join Gordon Chang at 11:00a.m. in Cairns Scotiabank Atrium for this informative talk.
