WHAT: "The Games Nations Play" RASBJ online conversation between Mark Dreyer and Jeremiah Jenne


WHEN: Wednesday, October 19, 2022, from 7.00-8:00 PM Beijing Time


MORE ABOUT THE EVENT: China's rise in international sport has matched its rise in international economics and politics. How do China's sporting achievements and ambitions fit into this overall rise? Will China's pandemic-enforced "decoupling" in sports be temporary or a sign of things to come? How is this national success reflected at local grass-roots? How does sport reflect other social and cultural structures, norms, and ideologies?


HOW MUCH: This online event is free for RASBJ members and members of partner RAS branches. RMB 100 for non-members.
