China, Ally or Enemy? Julia Fu vs Andrew Wong

In today’s episode, Sophomores Andrew Wong and Julia Fu will be debating the contentious issue of America’s foreign policy with China. They will be asked to answer the question: What would ideal American trade policy look like? How should US foreign policy change in order to best anticipate China’s growing power, whether friend or foe. Is China uniquely dangerous from any other dictatorship? What if any blame should be laid on China for the Covid-19 crisis and what action should be taken? Andy will start this debate which will be followed by a live student Q&A

I hope you’ll enjoy!
