US-China Relations: Perilous Past, Uncertain Present (Third Edition)
Book talk on the rise of Xi Jinping and Sino-American relations.
When:
December 7, 2017 12:30pm to 1:45pm
Where
Sutter's new edition explains US hardening in the face of the assertive Xi Jinping and populistic American rejection of conventional policy in the 2016 election campaign to evaluate Sino-American relations, now determined heavily by two bold and decisive leaders. The strengths and weaknesses of both sides show no imminent power shift in China's favor. Reacting to new pressures from the US president, China remains reluctant to confront America. Constraints on both argue for pragmatism in dealing with rising tensions over various important US-Chinese differences.
