With the United States leading the charge, more and more countries are growing concerned about economic over-reliance on China. From supply chain disruptions to economic coercion, the risks are ever-more apparent. But for close neighbors like Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, whose economies are deeply intertwined with China’s, de-risking is not a simple proposition.

How important are de-risking and economic diversification for China’s Northeast Asian neighbors, and what steps are they taking to that end? This webinar, recorded live on August 22, discusses the de-risking calculus for Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
