Event Details
To shed light on the future of bilateral relations and the implications for the Asia-Pacific region, Carnegie–Tsinghua Center Fellow Tong Zhao will moderate a discussion with Chen Dingding from Jinan University, who predicted the outcome of the U.S. presidential election months earlier. Carnegie–Tsinghua Center Director Paul Haenle will provide insights into the opportunities and constraints facing the next administration as it shapes its China policy.
| Even before his inauguration, President-elect Trump signaled his intention to upend U.S. foreign policy conventions once in office, including in the Asia-Pacific region. His phone call with Tsai Ing-wen called into question whether he intends to adhere to the “One China” policy, which many believe has served as a foundation of regional stability for decades. Trump’s comments on China since then have raised concerns about the potential for increased friction across the Strait and between the United States and China. At the same time, cooperation with China remains important if Trump is to address the North Korea nuclear issue and other common challenges. How will the new administration approach its China policy, and what will it mean for regional stability? |
