China and India are becoming major powers. By 2030, Asia will surpass the combined strength of North America and Europe in population size, economic weight, and military spending. Both India and China will have strong voices in many transnational areas, from climate change to global trade, human rights to business practices. In her new book, This Brave New World: India, China and the United States, Anja Manuel describes how the two Asian countries are working to overcome the enormous challenges they face, including poverty, corruption, and environmental degradation. Join us for the third installment of our 50th Anniversary series, China and the World, as Ms. Manuel examines the Sino-Indian relationship and the role the United States could play in reshaping the global balance of power to accommodate the two Asian giants, with the National Committee onMonday, May 9, in New York City.

The National Committee’s China and the World Series is sponsored by Dorsey & Whitney LLP.
