"On the Ground in China: How to Think about the PRC and the CCP, Perspectives from a Former State Department Spokesperson in Beijing"
 

Michael Turner

Senior Associate, Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS)

 

The U.S.-China relationship is arguably the most consequential bilateral relationship in the world. Nearly every issue -- from human rights to clean energy to nuclear weapons to trade to freedom of navigation to culture to international development to disinformation to economics to agriculture and so on -- touches and is influenced by U.S.-China dynamics. In this presentation, the speaker will share perspectives on ways to think about the PRC and the CCP and its decision making, to serve as a template for how to analyze the myriad of critical issues facing the world.
