SUMMARY:China’s Worst Nightmare: Global Partnerships | Partner Event
DESCRIPTION:A fireside chat with Congressman Joe Courtney & Deputy Head of Mission for the Embassy of Australia\, Paul Myler. Hosted by the Office of Congressman Joe Courtney. \nAs China increases its aggression in the Indo-Pacific region\, Australia\, the United Kingdom\, and the United States have come together to form a historic trilateral security pact\, AUKUS\, to protect peace and prosperity in the region. The mere existence of this partnership — let alone the undersea supremacy and technological capabilities that will come as a result — worries China greatly. Join Congressman Joe Courtney and the Embassy of Australia’s Deputy Head of Mission\, Paul Myler\, for a fireside chat moderated by World Affairs Council CEO Megan Torrey\, on how this historic deal will provide our three nations with the tools they need to deter China’s predatory conduct. \nThe details: \nDate | Thursday\, March 14 from 3-4 PM\nLocation | University of St. Joseph’s Hoffman Auditorium \n\n\nWhat is the AUKUS partnership?\nWant to learn more about the historic security pact ahead of the event? Check out this backgrounder by CTWAC’s Jonah Gosnay on the current state of the deal and its role in Indo-Pacific regional security. \nUnderstanding the AUKUS Partnership – The World Affairs Council of CT Blog (ctwac.com)

SUMMARY:American Journalists Covering China
DESCRIPTION:Hear Mike Chinoy\, former Beijing Bureau Chief for CNN\, address the World Affairs Council of Western Massachusetts at a luncheon in Springfield on his new book: Assignment China: An Oral History of American Journalists in the People’s Republic.  \nThe Details\nWhen: Tuesday\, March 21 | 12:00PM \nWhere: The Student Prince | 8 Fort Street\, Springfield\, MA \nTickets: $45 – includes lunch | RSVP required by March 14\, 2023 | Tickets \n*For dietary restrictions please call 413-733-0110 or email Cyd Melcher at cmelcher@wacwestma.org \nAbout the Speaker\nMike Chinoy is a nonresident senior fellow at the U.S.-China Institute at the University of Southern California. He spent twenty-four years as a foreign correspondent for CNN\, serving as the network’s first Beijing bureau chief and senior Asia correspondent. Before joining CNN\, Chinoy worked for CBS News and NBC News. He won Emmy\, Dupont\, and Peabody awards for his coverage of China. \nReporting on China has long been one of the most challenging and crucial of journalistic assignments. Foreign correspondents have confronted war\, revolution\, isolation\, internal upheaval\, and onerous government restrictions as well as barriers of language\, culture\, and politics. Nonetheless\, American media coverage of China has profoundly influenced U.S. government policy and shaped public opinion domestically and around the world. Assignment China tells the story of how American journalists have covered China—from the civil war of the 1940s through the COVID-19 pandemic—in their own words. \n\nHosted by\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n\nStay Globally Involved\nAs a member of the World Affairs Council of Connecticut\, you can get exclusive access to events\, low ticket prices\, and travel opportunities\, build relationships with local leaders and global dignitaries\, and join our community of global citizens.
