US Policy toward China and Taiwan in the Post-Pandemic Period
This speech forecasts continued US government resolve to counter multifaceted and often very serious challenges posed by the behavior of the government of the People’s Republic of China, and accompanying greater American support for Taiwan. It explains the reasons for US resolve developed over the past six years, highlighting the role of bi-partisan majorities in Congress. It anticipates smooth continuity in the US government resolve if President…
Taming Sino-American Rivalry
China’s Rise in the Global South: The Middle East, Africa, and Beijing’s Alternative World Order by Dawn C. Murphy
Professor Murphy has significantly advanced scholarship on post-Cold War Chinese foreign relations with this well-conceived and well-executed assessment of Chinese foreign relations with the Middle East, North Africa, and Sub-Saharan Africa. The study is theoretically informed, empirically based, and very relevant to policy. Notably, it provides clear evidence and a persuasive conclusion showing just how far President Xi Jinping’s China has come …

The US and Asia in 2018
A summit with North Korea’s leader in June saw President Trump greatly ease regional tensions created by his earlier maximum pressure policy against North Korea’s nuclear weapons program. He also launched punitive tariffs to change trading relations to US benefit, with adverse impact on regional economies. China became the focus, resulting in a trade war accompanied by a hardening of US policy, foreshadowing intense competition

Congress and Trump Administration China Policy: Overlapping Priorities, Uneasy Adjustments and Hardening toward Beijing
Republican-led congressional interaction with the Donald Trump campaign and administration on China-related matters during the 2016 US election campaign and the first year of the new administration involved often grudging adjustments on both sides. Major controversy was avoided partly because China issues often were overshadowed by other policy priorities and partly because congressional Republicans feared retribution from their mercurial leader …
The United States and Asia in 2017
Early Trump administration initiatives upset regional stability, complicating the foreign policies of Asian partners and opponents alike. Subsequent pragmatic summitry eased regional anxiety and clarified the new government’s security and political objectives. The administration’s national security strategy, released in December, provided a well-integrated security, economic, and diplomatic strategy for Asia and the rest of the world
China’s Future
David Shambaugh’s clearly organized and engagingly written volume accomplishes two important tasks. First, it fills a significant gap in the literature for general readers in foreign and public affairs by providing a cogent (172 pages of text plus notes) yet comprehensive overview of recent developments in China’s economy, society, politics and foreign affairs that identifies and assesses the key elements determining China’s future importance. Se…
Hsiao-ting Lin. Accidental State: Chiang Kai-shek, the United States, and the Making of Taiwan
Scholars using recently available archival records and diaries, notably the diary of Chiang Kai-shek, have substantially advanced our understanding of the complicated interaction among decision makers in the Republic of China (ROC) and the U.S. during World War II and the emergence of the Cold War in Asia. Hsiao-ting Lin of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University has added greatly to these new insights with important findings in this well-o…
US-China Relations: Perilous Past, Uncertain Present
The impact of the 2015–2016 presidential election campaign on American Asian policy debates
The 2015–2016 presidential election campaign had major effects on American debates regarding US policy toward Asia. Going into the campaign, the debates focused heavily on perceived US weaknesses in the face of growing challenges from China. As the campaign progressed, this broad concern with China remained active but secondary. It was overshadowed by strong debate on two sets of issues: international trade and the proposed Trans Pacific Partners…

This assessment first briefly examines recent features of China's approach to foreign affairs, and then examines in greater detail features in China's approach to relations with its neighbours, especially in Southeast Asia. It does so in order to discern prevailing patterns in Chinese foreign relations and to determine in the review of salient recent China–Myanmar developments in the concluding section how China's approach to Myanmar compares wit…
The United States and China in Southeast Asia: Conflict or Convergence
The year 2009 witnessed important initiatives by the United States and China in Southeast Asia. Evidence of some sharpening of Sino-American competition to protect interests and project influence in Southeast Asia grew amid a broader pattern of mixed divergence and convergence in Sino-American relations over such important international concerns as the global economic crisis and recession begun in 2008, climate change, the armed conflicts, instab…
Assessing China's Rise and US Leadership in Asia—growing maturity and balance
The common prediction in media and specialist commentary during much of the past decade was that Asia was adjusting to an emerging China-centered order and US influence was in decline. Over time, it became clearer that developments in the region showed a more complex reality. A growing contingent of scholars and specialists looked beyond accounts that inventoried China's strengths and US weaknesses and carefully considered other factors, includin…

The United States and Asia in 2006: Crisis Management, Holding Patterns, and Secondary Initiatives
North Korea's nuclear weapons test prompted U.S. international activism to curb Pyongyang's proliferation and press it to negotiate. Preoccupied with higher priorities at home and abroad, the Bush administration generally continued along established paths in Asia. Initiatives came in U.S. relations with India, Kazakhstan, and Southeast Asia
The Taiwan Problem in the Second George W. Bush Administration—US officials' views and their implications for US policy
The behavior of Taiwan leaders and people in 2003–2004 raised the salience of Taiwan's assertive movement toward permanent independence for US policy makers. No longer did US officials responsible for assessing cross-Strait relations and their implications for US policy take it for granted that such assertiveness and moves toward independence would be held in check by the mainstream opinion in Taiwan, previously but no longer viewed as pragmatic …

The United States and Asia in 2005: Managing Troubles, Sustaining Leadership
Deepening American preoccupations with other problems at home and abroad saw Bush administration policy toward Asia generally continue along established paths and remain secondary in U.S. policy priorities.

Bush Administration Policy Toward Beijing and Taipei
The George W. Bush Administration has carried out arguably the most significant rebalancing of US policy in the US-People's Republic of China (PRC)-Taiwan triangular relationship since the 1970s. Recent US relations with the PRC and Taiwan are within a broad one China framework, but they are unusual; never since the opening of relations with China has the United States so markedly increased its military and other support for Taiwan while seeing a…

U.S.-China Relations after the Sixteenth Party Congress: Prospects and Challenges
The leadership changes carried out at the Chinese Party and Government congresses over the past year were widely perceived to have reinforced China’s recent moderate approach toward the United States. Few would have predicted such favorable U.S.-China relations given the poor state of relations only two years earlier. Specialists differed on what caused the shift. Some emphasized the change in the Bush administration policy; others, including thi…
