On November 11, 2020, The Federalist Society's International & National Security Law Practice Group hosted a virtual panel for the 2020 National Lawyers Convention. The panel covered "The Law, China, and the Possible New Cold War."
The rule of law is a cornerstone of American democracy as it is for many other democracies. China has laws and courts, but there is little to no “rule of law” like that practiced in established democracies. What does this mean for China as a powerful global actor? What does it mean for the United States? If the rule of law operated in China as it does in the United States, would there be less tension in the U.S.-China relationship? Our panel of experts will address these themes during its discussion.
