Even as the Chinese government intensifies supply-chain coercion, it continues to deepen the trade and investment linkages that sustain its global economic centrality. Audrye Wong’s new book, Subversion and Seduction: China’s Economic Statecraft, explores an underemphasized aspect of China’s economic influence: positive inducements. Through six case studies, extensive field research, and a survey experiment, Dr. Wong’s book explores what kinds of inducement strategies succeed at achieving Beijing’s foreign policy goals and under what conditions.

Understanding the mechanisms, successes, and limitations of China’s economic statecraft will be critical for leaders in the United States and abroad as they navigate a world where China increasingly wields its economic clout for geopolitical influence. Join AEI’s Robert Doar and Dr. Wong for a discussion on this essential new book.
