From Harwood Salon - Join us on Wednesday, October 15, at 6 p.m. CT for an event with Dr. Ryan Yonk, Director of Education and Senior Research Fellow at AIER.
Dr. Ryan Yonk explores the complexities of U.S.-China relations through the lens of public choice theory. Drawing on his personal experiences in China and insights from his book, Yonk challenges conventional international relations models that treat China as a monolithic actor. Instead, he argues that understanding individual motivations—particularly those of Chinese leaders like Xi Jinping—is key to predicting behavior and crafting smarter foreign policy. Yonk emphasizes that economic liberalization in China stemmed from internal pressures, not Western influence, and that nationalism now serves to maintain regime power.
