Context on China in the News
China has been in the news quite recently, particularly with the 20th Party Congress of the Chinese Communist Party and the approval of a third five-year term for Xi Jinping as chairman. We recommend three recent presentations, two by China specialists at Columbia University and one by a former ambassador to both China and Russia, which provide timely background insights on these developments for you and your students.

The talk is succinct and timely - and includes a visual presentation.
