China: Power, Influence, and the Global Balance

China: Power, Influence, and the Global Balance takes place on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, 11:30 AM to 1:15 PM, at World Affairs Council Dallas Fort Worth, 306 W 7th St Fort Worth, TX 76102. The event is organized by World Affairs Council Dallas Fort Worth. As China’s global ambitions continue to expand, the United States faces a strategic challenge that demands sustained attention rather than reactive alarm. Victoria Coates will examine the scope of China’s growing influence – economically, militarily, and diplomatically – and what a clear-eyed, vigilant U.S. posture toward Beijing should look like in the years ahead. Registration, tickets, and the full event details are available through the official event listing linked on this page.
