About this Seminar
|
Despite the view of some Chinese officials that the United States is an aggressive power trying to dominate the whole world, they also realize that China is not likely to be on Washington's list of enemies in the near future. Mr. Wang Jisi will discuss how China-U.S. relations are in much better shape than the pre-9/11 period. The North Korean nuclear problem is a new stimulus to the seeking of strategic coordination between the two countries in East Asia, while the Taiwan problem has been put on the backburner for the time being. The preoccupation of the new Chinese leadership with domestic agendas is yet another insurance of the continued moderation of Beijing's policy toward Washington.

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.
