Description:
As we have seen over the past few decades, few foreign policy issues have changed the global landscape in as many significant and far-reaching ways as the rise of China. Questions surrounding how to understand China, how its government views the world, its impact on the Indo-Pacific and global order, and the role of the United States going forward have dominated discussions in Washington and around the world.
In pursuit of providing clarity on these question and more the 2021-22 class of Wilson China Fellows have undertaken groundbreaking policy research across a range of vital issues relating to the rise of China and the future of U.S.-China relations. With the generous support of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Wilson China Fellowship supports this class of rising, policy-oriented academics with specialization in political, social, economic, security, or historical issues related to China.
Please join us on February 14th and 16th for the 2nd annual Wilson China Conference, as our fellows present their research and debate the important policy questions facing the United States and China.
