The Asan Institute for Policy Studies will host the Asan China Conference 2014 under the theme of “Assessing China’s Power” at 9:30AM on Wednesday, April 2, 2014 at the institute.

The rise of China’s power is a topic of interest throughout the world. Yet, assessing it in a systematic and empirical manner is always a daunting challenge. It will feature sessions on China’s economic/soft power; conventional/nuclear military capabilities; and global, regional, and Chinese perspectives on China’s Power.

It will bring together eminent scholars and experts on China experts from the United States, China, France, the United Kingdom, Australia, Singapore, and Korea to place China’s growing power in perspective.

The one-day conference consists of 3 sessions as follows: (1) evaluating China’s power in each sector over the past three decades; (2) comparing China’s power with that of the United States; and (3) projecting, on the basis of the former two discussions, the future of China’s power for 2025.

Due to limited space, media wishing to attend the following event must RSVP to communications@asaninst.org with details including name, affiliation, and mobile number.
