Description

As China policy takes center stage, there is growing debate over the what the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) actually believes. Is the CCP truly Communist, or has it become something else? In the modern world, pinpointing the nature of CCP ideology is far from simple.

Understanding the CCP’s ideology can improve policymaking decisions and efforts to counter threats associated with China’s rise. What role does this ideology play in Chinese foreign policy today, and what is its global influence? Does it shape the response to American initiatives, and are there elements of this ideology that can impact Americans at home? Join us as two eminent scholars take on this tough question along with Heritage’s Dean Cheng.
