1/ Next Thursday, I will be delivering the Susan Shirk lecture at UC San Diego’s annual China conference.
2/ The question I was asked to address in the lecture is “Can the US and China Build a Stable Great-Power Relationship?”
3/ The good news is that the answer is yes. The bad news is that history shows that such an accomplishment is unlikely.
4/ But as a congenital optimist, I will emphasize the positives about the recent summit in Beijing between Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump in which they declared a US-China relationship premised on “constructive strategic stability” and the prospect for the September 24 summit when Xi comes to Washington.
5/ The event is open to the public. See the link below to register.
