The U.S. – China Relationship: From Fragility to Resilience
26 Feb 2009
Back in the early 1990s, at the beginning of the Clinton Administration, it seemed appropriate to describe U.S. - China relations as a "fragile relationship". But today, the relationship appears far more resilient, describing as containing a complex blend of competition and cooperation. How can we understand these changes? Why was the relationship relatively fragile then and more resilient today? What are the remaining unstable factors that could generate a crisis in the relationship, and how likely is such a crisis to occur?
Professor Harry Harding, currently a Visiting Professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration at the University of Hong Kong, one of the most prominent American scholars in the field of China studies and US-China relations, will give a public lecture on Sino-American relations. Professor Harding will discuss the development of Sino-America relationship.
