SUMMARY:Coexistence 2.0: U.S.-China Relations in a Changing World
DESCRIPTION:International Relations\, Outreach\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nU.S.-China relations are increasingly tense. But both countries need to forge a path that allows for cooperation and competition—Coexistence 2.0. Join us as top experts discuss the way forward. \n\n\n\nThe U.S.-China relationship is the most important in the world\, with decisions affecting the world’s chances for global peace\, prosperity\, and sustainability. Each country has its own view of what its role\, and the other’s role\, in the world should be in the 21st Century. These views are not entirely in sync. This has created tensions\, and could become more destabilizing. However\, it’s in the interests of both countries to find a way forward together that leaves room for cooperation\, competition\, perhaps even confrontation\, without leading to war — Coexistence 2.0\, a more complex and engaged form of coexistence than the United States had with the Soviet Union in the last century. \n\n\n\nMajor questions framing what is possible include what China wants\, how China’s domestic realities affect President Xi Jinping’s dream of “rejuvenating” China and\, the actions he can take at home and abroad\, how much and in what ways the United States and its allies can influence Beijing’s decision-making\, and what greater global forces and trends are at play\, affecting what the United States\, China\, or the two of them together\, can do or might want to do. \n\n\n\nThis symposium aims to provoke thought on these questions\, and to deepen understanding of the U.S.-China relationship. The conference is co-presented by the Harvard University Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies and the Harvard Kennedy Rajawali Foundation Institute for Asia\, with support from the Asia Society’s Center on U.S.-China Relations and UC San Diego’s 21st Century China Center. \n\n\n\nFriday November 18th \n\n\n\n8:00-8:10AM: Welcome\n\n\n\nMark Wu\, Director\, Harvard University Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Henry L. Stimson Professor\, Harvard Law SchoolTony Saich\, Director\, Harvard Kennedy School Rajawali Foundation Institute for Asia \n\n\n\n8:10 – 9:10AM: Chinese Views on U.S.-China Relations\n\n\n\nTwo influential Chinese experts share their views of changing U.S.-China relations\, in conversation with the moderator. \n\n\n\nModerator:Yasheng Huang\, Epoch Foundation Professor of International Management\, MITSpeakers:Wei Da\, Director\, Center for International Security and Strategy\, Tsinghua UniversityDaojiong Zha\, Professor of International Political Economy\, School of International Studies\, Peking University \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9:10-9:20AM: Break\n\n\n\n9:20-10:30AM: China’s Realities at Home\n\n\n\nWhat domestic realities and challenges are driving and affecting the Chinese government’s goals and strategy\, at home and abroad\, in terms of Communist Party politics\, the state of China’s economy\, and social factors? \n\n\n\nModerator:Tony Saich\, Director\, Harvard Kennedy School Rajawali Foundation Institute for AsiaSpeakers:Arthur Kroeber\, Founding Partner\, Head of Research\, GavekalYa-Wen Lei\, Associate Professor of Sociology\, Harvard UniversityDavid Shambaugh\, Director\, China Policy Program\, Elliott School of International Affairs\, George Washington UniversitySusan Shirk\, Chair\, 21st Century China Center\, Research Professor\, UC San Diego \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:45-11:55AM: Competition & Cooperation in Security\, Ideas and Rules\n\n\n\nChina and the United States are competing on multiple fronts\, including in promoting their values and ideas and setting international rules and standards. China is challenging and hoping to end the United States’ long-held role as predominant Indo-Pacific power\, by building a “String of Pearls” presence in ports throughout Asia\, the Middle East and Europe\, establishing a presence near chokepoints to strategic waterways (Djibouti\, Gwadar)\, and accelerating the modernization of China’s overall military capabilities\, including developing a blue water navy capability. What does Coexistence 2.0 look like on all these fronts? Where is there still room for cooperation\, and where is competition inevitable? How can the two sides avoid a hot war? \n\n\n\nModerator:Graham Allison\, Professor of Government\, Harvard Kennedy SchoolSpeakers:Andrew Erickson\, Professor of Strategy and Research Director in the Naval War College’s China Maritime Studies InstituteTaylor Fravel\, Director\, Security Studies Program\, MITJoseph Nye\, Professor Emeritus and Former Dean\, Harvard Kennedy School of Government; Former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security AffairsJessica Chen Weiss\, Professor of Government\, Cornell University \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:00-1:15PM: Lunch\n\n\n\n1:15-2:25PM: Competition & Cooperation in Trade\, Investment\, and Technology\n\n\n\nA look at U.S.-China competition in global trade and investment\, especially emergent technologies and infrastructure. To what extent should both sides engage in greater decoupling for national security reasons? What do developing nations want\, how has China’s BRI changed the landscape\, and how effectively are the United States and its allies responding?  Even amid growing strategic competition\, can both parties work to define common norms of behavior in cyberspace and to cooperate on emergent technologies to address common problems? \n\n\n\nModerator:Mark Wu\, Director\, Harvard University Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\, Henry L. Stimson Professor\, Harvard Law SchoolSpeakers:Elizabeth Economy (invited)\, Senior Advisor to U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo; Senior Fellow\, Hoover InstitutionMeg Rithmire\, Professor of Business of Administration\, Harvard Business SchoolDan Rosen\, Founder\, Rhodium Group \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2:25-2:35PM: Break\n\n\n\n2:35-3:45PM: How Asian Countries See China and U.S.-China Competition\n\n\n\nMuch of Asia is stuck in the middle between longstanding relationships with the United States and the prospect of potential economic opportunity coming from China. How do Asian countries view China’s rise—as a threat or an economic opportunity? Are they fearful of falling into the “debt trap” that international analysts have warned of\, or do they welcome Chinese investment? How are they affected by U.S. trade sanctions on China? What do they hope the United States will offer? \n\n\n\nModerator:Fatema Z. Sumar\, Executive Director\, Harvard University Center for International DevelopmentSpeakers:Ian Chong\, Associate Professor of Political Science\, National University of SingaporeBopha Phorn\, Nieman fellow\, independent journalist based in Phnom PenhEd Case (invited)\, U.S. Congressman; co-founder\, Congressional Pacific Islands Caucus \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3:45-4:00PM: Break\n\n\n\n4:00-5:10PM: Toward Coexistence 2.0: What Should the U.S. Do?\n\n\n\nIf Coexistence 2.0 is to allow healthy competition and even some cooperation while avoiding unnecessary war\, what needs to happen to get there\, recognizing that China aspires to greater global influence than it already has? How can these two great powers collaborate more on global issues that matter\, like climate change? What is U.S. policy already doing well to support U.S. interests and the rules-based international order?  What could U.S. policy do better? Can the Thucydides trap be avoided\, and how much do both sides really want to avoid it? \n\n\n\nModerator:Bill Alford\, Vice Dean\, Graduate Program and International Legal Studies\, Harvard Law School; Director\, East Asian Legal StudiesSpeakers:Jude Blanchette\, Freeman Chair\, Chinese Studies\, CSISMelanie Hart\, China Policy Coordinator for the Office of Undersecretary of State for Economic Growth\, Energy and Environment\, Director of China Policy\, Center for American ProgressOrville Schell\, Arthur Ross Director\, Center on U.S.-China Relations\, Asia SocietyRobert S.
