Investigations Reporter, New York Times, and Co-author, When McKinsey Comes to Town

The United States has led international efforts to expose and condemn Chinese Communist Party abuses, from the Uyghur genocide to the militarization of the South China Sea. But too often foreign companies—including some US firms—have helped Beijing carry out or cover up these activities.

Please join Hudson Research Fellow Nate Sibley and Michael Forsythe, co-author of When McKinsey Comes to Town, for a discussion on the consultancy giant’s work in China and how it illustrates the broader challenges of the private sector’s engagement with powerful authoritarian regimes.
