Beyond US–China competition in Southeast Asia

THURSDAY 30 OCTOBER | 12:15 PM - 1:30 PM AEST
Please join us in Sydney for a discussion on emerging geopolitical dynamics in Southeast Asia. Is the United States still competing effectively for influence? What are the constraints on China’s growing relationships with countries in the region?
This event will launch the Lowy Institute’s new Southeast Asia Influence Index and feature a discussion between Lindsey W. Ford, Hoang Thi Ha, and the Lowy Institute’s Southeast Asia Program Director Susannah Patton, moderated by Research Director David Dutton.
