Should the UK and the EU distinguish their foreign policies from those of the US and pursue a path of constructive engagement, or regard China as a hegemonic force to be constrained?
The Paddy Ashdown Forum in association with European Liberal Form is pleased to co-host an Oxford Union-style debate at the National Liberal Club (with live-streaming) on the controversial topic of The Rise of China
The Motion for debate : This House believes China is interested in coexistence rather than domination.
