Tsingshan Lecture X: Great Power Rivalry and China's Future
Title: Great Power Rivalry and China's Future
Speaker: Professor Victor Gao
Time: March 9, 2026
Venue: C110, School of Management
Abstract: In this profound lecture, Victor Gao argues that the world is witnessing the dawn of the end of Pax Americana and the emergence of Pax Sinica (the Chinese Peace). Analyzing the current geopolitical landscape, Gao characterizes U.S. strategic posture as increasingly hollow, particularly in light of Middle Eastern conflicts and the legal delegitimization of the U.S.-led tariff wars.
Profile: Victor Gao, J.D. from Yale University, currently serves as Deputy Director of the Center for China and Globalization and Director of the China Energy Security Institute. He is a renowned diplomatic commentator and scholar of international relations.
