BEIJING—The Carnegie–Tsinghua Center for Global Policy announced today that Tong Zhao is joining as an associate working with Carnegie’s Nuclear Policy Program.
Zhao’s research will focus on strategic security issues, including nuclear arms control, nonproliferation, missile defense, and strategic stability, as well as China’s security and foreign policy. He joins a global team of Carnegie nuclear policy experts based in Washington, Moscow, Bonn, London, Brussels, Tel Aviv, Istanbul, and Beijing.
“I am looking forward to working with Carnegie’s distinguished experts across the world,” Zhao said. “It is my honor and pleasure to be part of this great community that strives to promote cooperation, peace, and stability around the globe.”
Zhao was previously a Stanton Nuclear Security Fellow with the Project on Managing the Atom and the International Security Program at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard University. Zhao has also served as a nonresident WSD-Handa Fellow at Pacific Forum CSIS and worked for the Office of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Government of Beijing Municipality. Zhao holds a doctorate in science, technology, and international affairs from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
“I’m thrilled to welcome Tong Zhao, a rising expert in the fields of nuclear security, arms control, and China’s security policy, to the Carnegie-Tsinghua team,” said Paul Haenle, director of the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center. “Zhao’s expertise in arms control and international security are important additions to both Carnegie’s Nuclear Policy Program and Asia Program.”

The Plaza Accord was not an externally imposed punishment of Japan but part of a broader restructuring that Japanese economists and policymakers themselves recognized was necessary. Its effects were undermined, however, when Tokyo responded to the resulting slowdown with policies that exacerbated investment, credit expansion, and the very imbalances the adjustment was intended to resolve.

The nuclear relationship between China and the United States is increasingly shaped by widening perception gaps rather than deliberate strategic design.

China’s banking crisis in the 2000s was resolved by transferring the costs to households through financial repression—a decision that recapitalized the banks while exacerbating the structural imbalances that continue to shape the Chinese economy today.

Chinese biotech companies have been on the receiving end of U.S. economic coercion. Yet their responses have differed significantly because firm and state interests are not uniformly aligned. For Washington, treating all Chinese tech firms the same, irrespective of their actual interests, risks pushing them farther into Beijing’s corner.

China’s latest energy plan explicitly calls for integrating data centers into the electricity system, particularly connecting them to green energy. It appears Beijing wants to use compute as a source of domestic demand to absorb renewables excess capacity.
