The China Fallacy: How the U.S. Can Benefit from China's Rise and Avoid Another Cold War
UCLA Center for Chinese Studies hosts a book talk with Donald Gross
When:
October 15, 2013 4:00pm to 5:30pm
In The China Fallacy: How the U.S. Can Benefit from China’s Rise and Avoid Another Cold War, Donald Gross challenges attempts to contain China and warns against protectionism. Instead, he calls for achieving a stable peace with China and negotiating free trade agreements that will bring greater American prosperity consistent with principles for good Sino-American relations advanced by presidents from Nixon onward. Mr. Gross will discuss why and how the United States can improve relations with China on October 15 from 4:00pm-5:30pm at UCLA.
Donald Gross is a specialist in U.S. security and economic policy toward East Asia with many years of experience in government, public affairs, diplomacy and international business.

From 1997 until 2000, he was senior advisor to the Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security Affairs in the Department of State where he developed diplomatic strategy toward East Asia and served in senior positions on U.S. delegations negotiating with China, Japan, and South and North Korea. Prior to joining the State Department, he was senior policy advisor and counselor at the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (1994-1997) and director of legislative affairs at the National Security Council (1993-1994).
Mr. Gross has practiced law in New York, Washington and Seoul, Korea. He began his career as a journalist with the New Orleans Times-Picayune and later served as a speechwriter and senior issues advisor for several presidential campaigns.
