Leaning into a multispeed Europe that includes the UK is the way Europeans don’t get relegated to suffering what they must, while the mighty United States and China do what they want.

Press Release
Press Release: Albert Keidel, Dexi Liu, Join Carnegie Endowment
Published on Aug 2, 2004
2 August 2004
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
U.S. Department of the Treasury official and leading economist Albert Keidel is joining the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, announced Jessica T. Mathews, Carnegie president. Keidel will be a senior associate with the Endowment’s China Program, doing research and policy analysis on the Chinese economy. A new Kimsey scholar—Dexi Liu, professor of Chinese politics and international strategy at China’s Central Party School—will also join the Endowment in August, for a three-month stay.
Beginning in September, Albert Keidel’s work at the Endowment will focus on issues relating to China’s economic system reforms, macroeconomy, regional development, and poverty reduction strategy. He formerly was deputy director for the Office of East Asian Nations at the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Before joining Treasury in 2001, he covered economic trends, system reforms, poverty, and country risk as a senior economist in the World Bank office in Beijing. Keidel has worked in China, Japan, and Korea and taught graduate economics courses on China, Japan, and development. He received a B.A. in International Affairs from Princeton and a Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard. He is widely published and speaks Mandarin Chinese.
“Bert’s arrival consolidates Carnegie’s position as having the largest and most comprehensive research team in Washington addressing China. His economic expertise will complement our work on Chinese security and political and legal reform,” said Mathews.
Dexi Liu will focus his research on the evolving “strategic triangle” relationship among China, Russia, and the United States. Liu has extensive research experience in Sino-U.S. and Sino-Russian relations. His books on these subjects include The Foreign Strategies of Mao Ze-dong in Yan-an Period, Two Great Men and Two Great Countries, The Soviet Union and the Chinese Revolution, and Sino-Russian Relations after the Collapse of Soviet Union (all published in Chinese).
“The Kimsey Scholar Program has exposed a group of influential Chinese policy officials to U.S. policymaking and increases understanding between U.S. and Chinese policy elites. Dexi will be here during an important time in U.S. politics,” added Mathews.
