Time for a Reset? U.S.-China Relations during the Biden Administration
Have major recent developments in China and the United States raised the possibility that the U.S.-China relationship, which has become increasingly strained over the last 10 years, might now move in new and more positive directions?
The first panel will look at the November 2020 elections in the United States, providing an analysis of the election campaigns, the electoral process, the outcomes of the elections, and the transition from the Trump Administration to the Biden Administration. It will then examine the Fifth Plenum of the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Committee in October, which discussed the foreign and domestic economic policies underlying China’s new five-year plan that will begin in 2021.
The second panel will analyze the implications of these events for Chinese policy toward the U.S. and American policy toward China, assessing the prospects for both change and continuity.
