Asia’s Reckoning: China, Japan, and the Fate of U.S. Power in the Pacific Century
Overview
The Wilson Center is pleased to host the launch of Richard McGregor’s new study of what may be the world’s most consequential trilateral relationship. McGregor, a former Kissinger Institute Public Policy Fellow, long-time Asia correspondent for the Financial Times, and renowned author of The Party: The Secret World of China’s Communist Rulers, has written a surprising and issue-defining book on how China and Japan view each other and their interactions with the United States. His work casts new light on perennial Sino-Japanese tensions over history and East China Sea islands and provides a historical framework for analyzing current tensions on the Korean Peninsula and doubts over American staying power in the Asia-Pacific.
