Stabilizing China-U.S. Relations: A Chinese Perspective

The intense competition between the two strategic frameworks used by China and the United States respectively is the fundamental reason for the high degree of uncertainty in the development of U.S.-China relations. Can the bilateral relationship be stabilized? What should the two countries do to grab the window of opportunity to de-escalate tensions and stabilize the relationship? What are the challenges for U.S.-China relations in the next five to 10 years, and what are the causes behind them? In this talk, Shao Yuqun from the Shanghai Institute of International Studies will provide some insights on these questions using analysis from her research.

This event is co-sponsored by the Walsh School of Foreign Service Asian Studies Program and the Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues.
