About the lecture:

U.S.-China relations are, once again, at a turning point. Among the many variables affecting the future evolution of the relationship is the newly-elected administration in Washington and the prospect of a new leadership in Beijing next year. In this Distinguished Visitor Lecture Series presentation, Professor David Shambaugh of George Washington University will consider the overall state of U.S.-China relations, the major issues on the agenda, the policy inclinations and likely approaches of the new Trump administration, the prospects for China's new leadership and its orientation towards the United States, and likely evolution of Sino-American relations in the coming years.
