On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Asia Society’s Center on U.S.-China Relations, the Center is convening a series of conversations between China scholars and experts, all of whom have made their mark on the world’s understanding of China and its place in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Former President of the Republic of China, Taiwan, Ma Ying-jeou will be in conversation with Jerome A. Cohen, Professor of Law at New York University School of Law and Adjunct Senior Fellow for Asia Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.
