After the abrupt cancellation of our 2020 symposium due to the pandemic, we are officially back in 2021!
This year’s theme is “Crisis and Opportunity.” The Sino-US relations are in deep crisis. The two countries spat and confronted each other on almost every subject: from trade, technology, human rights, to China’s maritime claims. The Biden administration has made it clear its intention to pursue strategic competition with China. Yet at the same time, opportunities for engagement remain. There are many areas where the two superpowers must cooperate for the interests of the global community: the global health crisis and climate change, to name but a few. We hope that this symposium will provide a platform for all to consider and better understand these issues and the future of Sino-US relations.
Please see the pamphlet below on details of our panel topics and fantastic speakers including keynote speaker James Palmer, the deputy editor at Foreign Policy.
