Journalist Edward Wong’s new memoir At the Edge of Empire: A Family’s Reckoning explores the intersection of family, identity, and the rise of China as a global power in the current geopolitical landscape.
The book covers the Wong family’s journey from rural China to urban America amid shifting United States–China relations and Wong’s experiences as a New York Times correspondent in Beijing. The family witnessed the transformation of China into an authoritarian regime and global empire—including the plight of the Uyghurs, as Wong’s father moved from Hong Kong to Xinjiang in the early years of Mao Zedong’s rule.
Join Hudson for a discussion of the book with Wong, Japan Chair Kenneth Weinstein, and Senior Fellow Nury Turkel.
