Event Recording: Criminalizing China

In this webinar recorded on April 29, 2020, Seton Hall University Professor Margaret K. Lewis warns that the Department of Justice’s China Initiative is dangerously over-inclusive. The initiative, launched in 2018 to counter genuine national security threats, fails to target the source of threat with sufficient precision, and risks sweeping up anyone of Chinese nationality or ethnicity, as well as non-Chinese who seek to engage constructively with China. Professor Lewis, NYU Law 2003, is a USALI affiliated scholar.
