One Year After Sunnylands: Assessing the U.S.-China Relationship
Wed, May 28th, 2014
Washington, DC
President Obama’s recent visit to Asia underscored the importance of the U.S.-China relationship and the challenge of managing it in the context of increasing interdependence, but also tension and mistrust. Both countries have strong incentives to find ways to operationalize a new type of major country relationship so that differences do not derail cooperation on a broad spectrum of bilateral and global issues.
