Event Details
Whether a policy of engagement or containment dominates American relations with China in the coming years depends upon a prickly mix of economic, geopolitical, security and commercial factors. What should both countries look for in 2012, as the uncertain global economic outlook poses a continued challenge to both American and Chinese growth? Are American policies and attitudes toward China undergoing a psychological transition, from those of a superior power to those of an increasingly equal—and sometimes disadvantaged—competitor?
Having just returned to the U.S. from nearly 15 years in China, most of it in The Wall Street Journal's Beijing office, Jason Dean will share his views shaped from thousands of conversations with ordinary Chinese citizens, business leaders, diplomats and politicians during a period of tremendous change, and discuss to what degree the current lack of mutual trust at the non-governmental level and doubts about the strategic basis for cooperation are a permanent fixture of bilateral ties or the latest cycle in the ties' ups and downs.
