DESCRIPTION:The Hoover Institution hosts The Avoidable US-China War – A C
 onversation with Dr. Condoleezza Rice and Kevin Rudd on Thursday\, October
  6\, 2022 from 4:30 - 5:30PM PT.\n\nA war between China and the US would b
 e catastrophic\, deadly\, and destructive. Unfortunately\, it is no longer
  unthinkable. \n\nJoin the Hoover Institution and Asia Society Northern Ca
 lifornia for a special conversation with former Secretary of State Dr. Con
 doleezza Rice and former Prime Minister of Australia Kevin Rudd on Thursda
 y\, October 6 at 4:00pm Pacific. At his only Northern California-based eve
 nt\, Rudd will talk with Dr. Rice who heads Hoover Institution about his n
 ew book ‘The Avoidable War: The Dangers of a Catastrophic Conflict betwe
 en the U.S. and Xi Jinping’s China.’\n\nThe relationship between the U
 S and China\, the world’s two superpowers\, is peculiarly volatile. It r
 ests on a seismic fault—of cultural misunderstanding\, historical grieva
 nce\, and ideological incompatibility. No other nations are so quick to of
 fend 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. \n\nThe Avoidable War demystifies the actions of both si
 des\, explaining and translating them for the benefit of the other. Geopol
 itical disaster is still avoidable\, but only if these two giants can find
  a way to coexist without betraying their core interests through what Rudd
  calls “managed strategic competition.” Should they fail\, down that p
 ath lies the possibility of a war that could rewrite the future of both co
 untries\, and the world.
