Our short form debate evening returns to welcome the Year of the Rooster. Guest speakers have just 8 minutes to convey their position and start the conversation with the audience. From Hinkley Point to whitewashing in the entertainment industry, you can expect a provocative evening designed to make you think and challenge your assumptions by covering a broad range of topics and themes in one condensed session.

Topics:

1.Traditional Chinese Medicine should be relegated to “cultural treasure” rather than used to treat ailments

SPEAKER: Dr. Vivienne Lo, Director of UCL’s China Centre for Health and Humanity

2.Why invest in the West? The Hinkley project

SPEAKER: Dr Kerry Brown, Director of the Lau China Institute at King’s College, London

3.White washing and yellow faces: can a Chinaman trust a white man to tell his story?

SPEAKER: Dr Victor Fan, Senior lecturer at the Department of Film Studies, King’s College London and film consultant of Chinese Visual Festival

4.Chinese tourists – the saviours of the UK tourism industry?

SPEAKER: Anthony Pickles is Head of Tourism Affairs at VisitBritain and VisitEngland. He previously worked for Nissan Europe and the Conservatives.

5. Feminism can’t work in China

Speaker to be confirmed
