Understanding Chinese Nuclear Thinking
Fri, October 28th, 2016
Washington, DC
Chinese nuclear experts think about nuclear weapons very differently from their U.S. counterparts. They use different terminology and contrasting security paradigms to discuss and make decisions on nuclear policy. How can Washington and Beijing promote an effective dialogue and shared understanding despite their disparate approaches?
In their latest report, Li Bin and Tong Zhao present their findings on the topic. Their analysis will be followed by a moderated conversation.
