The talk will focus on Schifrin\u2019s Pulitzer Center-supported project, \u201cChina: Power and Prosperity<\/a>,\u201d which involves a series of broadcasts examining the social, economic and political forces behind China\u2019s rise in prosperity, influence and military strength. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schifrin conducted more than 70 on-camera interviews in eight Chinese cities and eight countries for the documentary series, which recently aired on PBS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCarthy will sit down with Schifrin to talk about how China\u2019s prosperity and military strength are affecting its domestic policies and its future as a global superpower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event, which will begin at 6 pm and be followed by a reception from 7-8 pm, is open to Hunter College students<\/strong>. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. at the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute<\/a> at 47-49 E. 65th St. (between Park and Madison Aves.). RSVP here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
