In the interim the US-China relationship has taken a tumultuous course primarily characterized by multiple frictions and comprehensive competition. More recently, in the wake of President Trump's state visit to China in May (which Xi's visit is reciprocating) there seems to be some new stability and lowered tensions in the relationship--but to what extent and can it endure? In this lecture Professor David Shambaugh, Director of the China Policy Program at GWU, will consider the evolution of the relationship over the past decade, its current state, and possible future trajectories.Doors will open no sooner than 15 minutes before the start time.The Elliott School can coordinate with the university to reasonably accommodate most disabilities.
