Abstract:
A cycle pattern of retreat and advance in the US-China relationship was replaced by a prolonged crisis. The breakdown of regular communication during the Trump presidency was blamed partially for the downward spiral. The reopening of the line of communication in the summer of 2023, however, has not reversed the prolonged crisis. Exchanging goodwill and reaffirming the importance of diplomacy, Washington and Beijing have continued pushing each other’s hot buttons. How has the relationship got to this point? Why has communication failed to facilitate mutual accommodation? What are the root causes of this crisis? What is the prospect of the Sino-US competition? How can Washington and Beijing stabilize the relationship? Prof. Zhao’s talk will see answers to these important questions.
