On October 12, President Barack Obama traveled to Asia to express U.S. policy priorities in the region. The global economic crisis, the growing instability in Pakistan, and the Afghanistan War all present challenges to U.S. foreign policy in Asia. Carnegie’s Ashley Tellis addresses China’s stimulus package, the future of Sino-U.S. relations, nuclear nonproliferation in Pakistan, and a better strategy for Afghanistan.
