Asia’s nuclear powers must continue to maintain regional strategic stability to prevent security tensions from escalating.

Over the past few years, security tensions the Asia-Pacific have increased, raising the question of how to ensure continued strategic stability between the world’s great powers. This region is home to five nuclear states—China, Russia, India, Pakistan, and the United States—in addition to nuclear programs in North Korea and Iran.

Carnegie–Tsinghua’s Tong Zhao will moderate a discussion between Fan Jishe, Qiu Zhenwei, Liu Chong, and Shi Jianbin about ways to mitigate conflict and prevent military escalation in one of the world’s most strategically important regions. Carnegie’s Li Bin will comment on the discussion  .
