This talk is organised under the auspices of the Tan Chin Tuan Chinese Culture and Civilisation ProgrammeThe US-China relationship—arguably the world’s most consequential—is defined by a paradox: while the two countries have never been so interdependent nor shared as many global interests, they are also at odds with one another on a growing list of international and regional issues. Professor Gill will explore the past, present and future of this complex and all-encompassing relationship. Among the questions he will address: Is the current downturn in US-China ties a long-term “new normal” for the relationship? What are the drivers and constraints in China’s foreign policy toward the United States? How will China’s foreign policy toward the United States affect regional security and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific?ABOUT PROFESSOR BATES GILLProfessor Gill is a renowned China expert with a 25-year international career as a scholar, policy advisor and institution-builder.
