| Overview | The U.S.-China relationship requires a new framework reflecting the countries’ evolving interests. China’s growing economy and global influence demands a shift in its approach while the U.S. must recognize China’s importance and the best way to coexist for a more constructive future. Both nations have competing interests, but there are common issues and bilateral economical benefits. This Workshop covers the countries’ complex history and a path forward.
