Asia-Pacific, China, International Trade & Finance, International Relations , United States Watch Now: U.S.-China Relations and the Biden Administration

By Perry World House

The Biden administration faces a long list of urgent foreign policy concerns, but perhaps the most critical is its relationship with China. The U.S.-China bilateral relationship is today defined not only by deep economic interdependence developed in the post-Cold War years, but also increasingly by strategic rivalry.

Recent talks between representatives of the two countries in Alaska saw a flareup in tensions, with Chinese diplomats criticizing the U.S. on a range of global issues. Competition – economic, military, technological, diplomatic, and more – between the two countries is starting to determine the direction not just of the Asia-Pacific region, but of the entire world.

At this critical juncture in the U.S.-China relationship, what should the Biden administration do? What is it likely to do? Perry World House and the Penn Center for the Study of Contemporary China hosted a panel of seasoned policymakers and experts to answer these questions and more on the next four years of U.S. foreign policy towards China.
