Najam Comments on Escalating U.S.-China Tensions

Adil Najam, Dean of the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was interviewed on the PTV News program Politics Today discussing the United States military alliance with Australia and its implications on regional stability in Asia and the Pacific Ocean. 

In his comments, Najam noted that the escalation and tensions between China and the U.S. have in some ways come faster than expected. As a result, the entire region has been left on edge about what the fallout might be from any escalation between the two, especially for countries in Asia.
