U.S.-China Relations: Key Strategic Issues in 2008
Content from the Brookings-Tsinghua Public Policy Center is now archived. Since October 1, 2020, Brookings has maintained a limited partnership with Tsinghua University School of Public Policy and Management that is intended to facilitate jointly organized dialogues, meetings, and/or events.
During the last year there have been a number of significant events with potential impact on U.S.-China relations.
The U.S. Presidential campaign, the change of political leadership in Taiwan, Iran’s nuclear program, the six-party negotiations on North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, and emergence of new political leadership in Japan will shape not only the U.S.-China relationship but the international environment. China and the United States have similar perspectives on some of these events but differing ones on others.
The Brookings-Tsinghua Center for Public Policy held a public discussion with four visiting American experts on these key issues.

The upshot is an environment in which the leaders of the world’s most powerful democracies have to engage with an ever more challenging world, even as they’re on shaky ground at home. This can fuel doubts among our allies and overconfidence among our adversaries, and leave us all more vulnerable as a result.
