At the Edge of Empire: A Discussion with Edward Wong

Journalist Edward Wong’s new memoir At the Edge of Empire: A Family’s Reckoning explores the intersection of family, identity, and the rise of China as a global power in the current geopolitical landscape.
The book covers the Wong family’s journey from rural China to urban America amid shifting United States-China relations and Wong’s experiences as a New York Times correspondent in Beijing. The family witnessed the transformation of China into an authoritarian regime and global empire-including the plight of the Uyghurs, as Wong’s father moved from Hong Kong to Xinjiang in the early years of Mao Zedong’s rule.
Join Hudson for a discussion of the book with Wong, Japan Chair Kenneth Weinstein, and Senior Fellow Nury Turkel.
