China and the Founding of the United States

It has become too easy for people to presume that no two cultures could be so far removed as the United States from China. However, in this Rising Tide Foundation lecture, Dr. David Wang debunks that popular belief by showcasing the fruits of many years of research into a dimension of American history too often ignored by historians and academics: the influence of Chinese thought, science and ethics on the founding fathers.

Dr. David Wang is Manager of Hollis Library and Adjunct Professor of St. Johns University. Prof. Wang has published over twenty groundbreaking articles on the topic of Chinese influences on the founding fathers of America including the new book ‘China and the Founding of the United States: The Influence of Traditional Chinese Civilization’ published by Lexington Books this summer which can be pre-ordered here: https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781793644350/China-and-the-Founding-of-the-United-States-The-Influence-of-Traditional-Chinese-Civilization
