"When Commerce Becomes Coercion: Navigating Weaponized Interdependence" w/CCGA

Economic interdependence was once seen as a source of stability. Today, major powers are turning it into a weapon. China uses market access and supply chains to coerce countries and companies into political compliance, and the United States has responded in kind, leaving governments and businesses caught in the middle. What distinguishes this economic coercion from traditional sanctions or trade policy? How can countries and firms protect themselves when trade becomes a geopolitical tool? Join Victor Cha and Paul Heer in conversation with Leslie Vinjamuri as they examine how economic statecraft is being weaponized and what can be done to counter it.

This event is hosted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. We from The Geopolitical Forum can hang out and continue the conversation perhaps over a drink or bite after the event wraps up.
