Chinese Nuclear Thinking: U.S. Perspectives
Thu, May 5th, 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?
Carnegie hosted the latest discussion in our series on Chinese nuclear thinking. Li Bin presented the findings of his recent, groundbreaking article on the topic, Linton Brooks commented, and Rose Gottemoeller offered remarks on the Sino-U.S. dialogue on nuclear issues. Carnegie President William J. Burns introduced the event, and Evan Medeiros moderated
