About this Seminar

The September terrorist attacks in the U.S. led to increased cooperation between the U.S. and Chinese governments against international terrorism. Dr. Jia will address the question of whether this is a marriage of convenience or a development of sustainable cooperation. Dr. Jia will argue that after twenty years of sweeping changes in China, the fundamental issue between China and the U.S. lies less in their substantive differences (economic, political, ideological and cultural) than in their differences in priorities. Dr. Jia will propose that Beijing and Washington can serve their best interests if the current emerging cooperative relationship is managed properly.

About the Seminar Program

The "Asian Voices: Promoting Dialogue between the US and Asia" Seminar Program seeks to provide a forum for Asian voices to be heard within the Washington community-voices on a wide range of regional and global topics. The Seminar Program, however, will not be restricted solely to Asia-Pacific issues, or US-Japan relations, but will focus on the broader global questions that confront both parts of the world.
