No international relationships today are more complex or important than the give-and-take between China and the United States. Rising from a position of economic distress little more than thirty years ago, China’s economy has grown exponentially, allowing it to surpass the US on measures of national wealth and prosperity, and it is now challenging our country for economic and cyber dominance not only in its own region but across Asia, Africa, Europe, and around the world. China’s military is newly aggressive, and we are facing new challenges as the US seeks to keep trade routes open in the South China Sea and elsewhere. All this is complicated by the stop-and-go machinations around the US trade war and cyber competition with China. Our future will depend on the diplomatic skills of our own leaders.

This course will focus on the history, economics, and political and diplomatic issues with China from ancient times to the present day.
