The Université temps libre invites you to a lecture by Hugues EUDELINE, Senior Lecturer in English and Irish Studies at the University of Tours.
The mantra "hide your strength, bide your time" advocated by Deng Xiaoping when he opened China up to international trade has been replaced by his first successors' encouragement of the Chinese people to get richer, leading to the most extraordinary economic development ever experienced by a country.
The arrival of Xi Jinping in power in 2013 brought about a change in China's geopolitical stance, with the country developing its naval projection forces at a rate that was also unprecedented. His first, and widely announced, objective is reunification with Taiwan, if necessary by force. It would have the means to achieve this before 2027. How could Taiwan resist, and who could help?
Conference at 2.30pm in the amphitheatre of the Lycée Bel Air.
