Kevin Rudd ‘On Xi Jinping’ at Harvard University

Ambassador Kevin Rudd, Australia's Ambassador to the United States and Former Prime Minister of Australia, will discuss his new book: "On Xi Jinping." In Rudd’s summary, Xi is "part emperor and part revolutionary socialist." Drawing on his direct experience with Xi, as well as his analysis of Xi in the years since, Ambassador Rudd will help us understand an individual who has been called the most ambitious and consequential leader on the international stage today. Moderated by Graham Alison, Douglas Dillon Professor of Government at Harvard University, and Mark Wu, Director of the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies and Henry L. Stimson Professor of Law *Dr. Rudd's remarks will be in his personal capacity, not on behalf of the Australian government.
