The Next Generation with Ruby Osman
Join us for another TNG event on Tuesday, 11th March.
March! The Springtime Sun is there to greet you as Winter departs for the year. But not everyone loves this month. As the soothsayer told Julius Caesar in Shakespeare's Tragedy of the Roman Emperor, 'Beware the ides of March!'. An 'ide', for the non-Romans amongst us, means 'the 15th'. We at the ASI take the words of soothsayers to heart, so we're hosting this TNG on the 11th instead. We won't be making the same mistake as poor old Julius.
This time, we're delighted to be talking with Ruby Osman, a Policy Adviser and China expert at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change. One of the countries best Pekingologists (yes, that's a real word, Google it), Ruby has commentated on Chinese geopolitics with the BBC, TIME, Newsweek, the South China Morning Post and many more. She's even interviewed Henry Kissinger himself! Ruby will be discussing Beijing's efforts to contrast itself with Trump 2.0, and how the UK should respond to China's posturing as the new advocate for free trade and economic globalisation.
Date: Tuesday, 11th March 2025

A bit more about these meetings:
At TNGs, we throw our doors open to Westminster’s finest to enjoy a political discussion over a few glasses of (free) wine. Open to parliamentary staffers, journos, SpAds, consultants, students and even the odd civil servant, TNGs are a place to network, chat, relax and always feature great remarks from our guest speaker. Whatever your politics, we just like interesting ideas and we hope you do too. It’s for under-35s, it’s informal and we normally end up at the Marquis of Granby. If we reach capacity with RSVPs, we will add you to our waiting list and let you know if a place becomes available.
Please note this event is exclusively for under-35s.
See you in the Open Society!
