Hey everybody. I'm John Donovan of intelligence squared us and it is debate time again

So Donald Trump said he was gonna be tough on China and

Guess what if tough means talking tough if it means tariffs if it means a tango with Taiwan a lot of teas in that sentence

Then Donald Trump is being tough and if the goal overall is to fashion a coherent response to China's

Increasingly assertive stance in the world militarily and economically well then how are all of Donald T's T's playing out?

In response to choices we've seen coming from this administration whether they represent

Continuity with the Obama years or a break from it is China actually coming around in a way that is conducive to American interests

Well, we think in all of these questions we have the makings of a debate

So that's what we're gonna do asking yes or no to this statement the recent US policy towards China is

productive

We'll have two teams of two who are experts in this topic and ready to argue for and against that resolution as always our debates

Gonna go in three rounds and then our audience and Aspen Colorado gets to choose the winner as always if all goes well

Civil discourse will also win. Let's meet our debaters

First of the team arguing for the resolution the recent US policy towards China is productive

Please ladies and gentlemen welcome Michael Pillsbury
