Seminar Information
The Sasakawa Peace Foundation hosted a panel discussion with a diverse group of American China experts from Washington, D.C. to present a range of perspectives on U.S. policy options with regard to China under the 2nd Obama administration.

What are the major issues in U.S.-China relations in the areas of military & security, economics & trade, and energy & environment, and how should the Obama administration approach these issues in the next four years? Will the Obama administration uphold the concept it presented in its first term of U.S. rebalance toward Asia, and if so, how will it apply to U.S.-China relations in the second term? The event was an opportunity to hear the perspectives of the panelists, who are both experts in these areas and keen observers of China and its policies. They examined the goals of the United States in its relations with China, and discuss U.S. policy options as well as domestic constraints and regional challenges it faces in pursuing these goals.

This discussion also took place during Prime Minister Abe's first trip to Washington, D.C. after his election, and was a timely opportunity to consider the implications of U.S.-China relations on U.S. policies for Japan and U.S.-Japan relations.
