Vortrag Prof. Dr. PAN Rui (Fudan University): “China-United States Relations under Changing Circumstances: Past, Present and Prospect”

April 18, 2017, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

China-US relations are facing new challenges after Donald Tramp won the 2016 US Presidential Election. China-US relations now need not only mutual interest but also a new conceptual framework. There continuing to be a lack of friendly attitude toward China in American society despite the development of China-US relations urges China to change the situation; China-US economic ties have experienced further negative episodes although the two countries are mutually dependent economically; and the bilateral military relations pose a weak link whose development has been slowest and most prone to outside influence. Both countries have strong reasons to build and maintain an honest, constructive, and cooperative relationship. It would be necessary to strengthen domestic political leadership and focus on the positive aspects of the relations so as to readily prepare and deal with the uncertainty of the next few years.
