David Sanger | China's Rise, Russia's Invasion, and America's Struggle to Defend the West

Join Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David E. Sanger as he explores America's complex rivalry with China and Russia in the post-Cold War era. In "New Cold Wars," Sanger provides a gripping account of America's simultaneous confrontations with these nuclear powers.

Discover how the United States' assumptions about Russia and China's alignment with Western-led order have evolved, leading to a high-stakes struggle for supremacy in military, economic, political, and technological realms. Gain insights into the critical questions facing the world today, including the potential for conflict escalation, the future of Taiwan, and America's role in global leadership.

Based on interviews with top officials and a deep dive into geopolitical events, this presentation offers a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and choices ahead for the United States and the world.
