Conference: Comparing the Militaries of China and The United States

The rapid evolution of the US and Chinese militaries has reshaped global security dynamics. Through cross-national scholarly lenses this conference will examine their respective strengths, strategies and challenges – offering a unique opportunity to transcend geopolitical narratives and foster evidence-based dialogue. This CMS conference will compare American and Chinese militaries by discussing what the two militaries have in common, where they have a unique and specific construction, and where they are imitating each other.

Estimated international scholars professor You Ji and professor Andrew Scobell will assess respectively the US Military and the Chinese Military. Further the international scholar Jingdong Yuan, Director at SIPRI, will present different assessments of the two countries´ military budgets.

The conference has free admission.

Further details will be provided in due course.
