About the Event 
Stewart will discuss a recent yearlong study he conducted with the Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS) that examined Chinese and Russian influence activities in four democracies, including the Chinese Communist Party’s attempts to influence Japan’s politics. He will talk about the study’s findings and how they relate to the current risks to the Japan-China fragile “tactical detente” amid the COVID-19 crisis.
