Kevin Rudd, the former Prime Minister of Australia and deeply knowledgeable China watcher, proposes a way forward for the US and China to avoid a superpower conflict and offers a chilling vision of what that might look like if it was unleashed.
A war between China and the US would be catastrophic, deadly and destructive. Unfortunately, it is no longer unthinkable.
The relationship between the US and China, the world's two superpowers, is peculiarly volatile. It rests on a seismic fault of cultural misunderstanding, historical grievance and ideological incompatibility. No other nations are so quick to offend and be offended. Their militaries play a dangerous game of chicken, corporations steal intellectual property, intelligence satellites peer and AI technicians plot. The capacity for either country to cross a fatal line grows daily.
Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who has studied, lived in, and worked with China for more than 40 years, is one of the very few people who can offer real insight into the mindsets of the leadership whose judgement will determine if a war will be fought.
Join Kevin Rudd as he shares his new book The Avoidable War, which will demystify the actions of both sides, explain and translate them for the benefit of the other.
Books will be available for purchase on the day from Dymocks Brisbane, or bring a copy from home to be signed.
Bookings essential. To reserve your place, visit Eventbrite or phone the library.
