U.S.-China Security Relations: Assessing China and Responding to Risk

| Asia Program

About the Event

U.S.-China relations are now routinely described as rivalrous. China’s capabilities—from conventional military power to cyber operations—have grown as the U.S. and others grow more concerned about China’s aims.  How does China assess the threats and opportunities it faces amid possibly escalating conflict with the U.S. across conventional, nuclear, and less traditional domains? How can and should the U.S. respond and manage the risks? In a period of mounting distrust and limited access, can each side avoid dangerously misunderstanding the other?  Join us as George Washington University’s Fiona Cunningham discusses these issues with FPRI’s Jacques deLisle.
