SUMMARY:Critical Issues Confronting China featuring Thomas J. Christensen - Thomas Schelling\, the United States\, and China’s Rise
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Thomas J. Christensen\, James T. Shotwell Professor of International Relations\, Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs \n\n\n\n*PLEASE NOTE DAY AND TIME CHANGE FROM OUR REGULAR CRITICAL ISSUES TALKS* \n\n\n\nThomas Schelling’s theoretical work on coercive diplomacy carries important lessons for U.S. security policy toward a rising China.  This talk will address the challenges in combining credible threats and credible assurances in deterring a PRC military attack on Taiwan and the need to differentiate clearly between unconditional restrictions on the transfer of militarily relevant technology to China and conditional threats to punish China economically if Beijing adopts certain proscribed policies. \n\n\n\nNote: Thomas Christensen serves as a Senior Advisor to the Office of China Coordination at the U.S. Department of State.  All opinions expressed in this talk and in the discussion that follows are his own and do not necessarily reflect the views of the U.S. Government. \n\n\n\nThomas J.

Tucker and Warren I.
