China-U.S. Relations: Partners or Rivals
VIEW EVENT DETAILSAfter two decades of growing engagement, China-US relations today are under severe stress. Charges and countercharges over currency manipulation and unfair trade, debt and deficits, media censorship and Google, Taiwan and the Dalai Lama, and military expansion and aspirations challenge the stability of the world's most important bilateral relationship. The global financial crisis has served to accelerate the global power shift from West to East with an ever-more confident China and an unusually self-doubting US.
Where are Sino-American relations headed? Will today's quarrels be managed or flare out of control? Are China and the US competitors, partners, or rivals? Hear some of the world's leading commentators discuss the future of China-US relations and share your views on their implications for business and politics in the Asia-Pacific and beyond.
James Fallows is a national correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly magazine and Chair in US Media at the US Studies Centre, Sydney University. He was Editor of US News and World Report and Chief Speechwriter for President Jimmy Carter. Fallows is one of the world's leading journalists and has written nine books on a variety of subjects. He is a graduate of Harvard University and was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University.
Gideon Rachman is Chief Foreign Affairs Commentator for the Financial Times and writes a weekly column as well as an FT blog. Before that, he was with The Economist for 15 years. His book Zero-Sum World, about the future of international relations, will be published in 2010. Rachman is a graduate of Caius College, Cambridge and has been a visiting fellow at Princeton University.
Michael Schuman is the Asia business correspondent for TIME, covering economic issues in the region. He was formerly a Wall Street Journal correspondent in South Korea, Singapore, and Indonesia.
