SUMMARY:FCCC Online Event: How China’s economic engagement ended US primacy in Latin America by Francisco Urdinez
DESCRIPTION:With the US administration’s desire to ensure the « Western Hemisphere » is politically on its side and recent military action to remove Nicolas Maduro\, Latin America is at the center of the rivalry between the United States and China. But Washington may find out Beijing already has displaced it in many aspects of the trade and economic relations with the region\, and gained political ground. Join us for a discussion with Francisco Urdinez\, who just published Economic Displacement – China and the End of US Primacy in Latin America. \nAbout the Speaker:  Francisco Urdinez is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Political Science of the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile\, where he also directs the Millennium Nucleus for the Impacts of China in Latin America (ICLAC) project on China’s impacts in Latin America. Through data analysis and case studies\, he demonstrates how China has filled the economic void left by US retrenchment from 2001 to 2020. He argues that this economic shift has led to a significant erosion of US political influence in the region\, affecting public opinion\, elite perspective\, and voting patterns in international organizations.

SUMMARY:FCCC Online Talk. The Broken China Dream: How Reform Revived Totalitarianism
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a compelling talk with Dr. Minxin Pei\, a distinguished scholar of Chinese politics\, as he presents his latest book\, “The Broken China Dream: How Reform Revived Totalitarianism.” Dr. Pei will delve into his provocative argument that China’s reform efforts\, rather than fostering democracy\, inadvertently set the stage for a resurgence of totalitarianism under Xi Jinping. He will explore how the Chinese Communist Party’s strategic decisions have led to a re-establishment of personalistic rule\, a cult of personality\, stringent social control\, and an assertive foreign policy\, examining the profound implications of these developments for China and the world. \nAbout the Speaker: Dr. Minxin Pei is the Tom and Margot Pritzker ’72 Professor of Government and George R. Roberts Fellow at Claremont McKenna College. His extensive research focuses on Comparative Politics\, Chinese Politics\, Democracy\, Great Power Rivalry\, Authoritarianism\, and U.S.-China Relations. He previously served as the inaugural Library of Congress Chair on U.S.-China Relations and was a senior associate and director of the China Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He earned his Ph.D. in government from Harvard University.
