In welcoming U.S. President Donald Trump to Beijing in May for a summit, Chinese President Xi Jinping sought to find an answer to the question of whether China and the U.S. would be able to overcome the Thucydides Trap and create a new paradigm of major country relations. After two days of intense conversation, the two leaders offered a tentative “yes,” proposing to create a new era of what they called “constructive strategic stability.” Following in the tradition of Susan Shirk, who insists on asking difficult questions and challenging conventional wisdom, the political scientist Graham Allison will devote this lecture to examining both the promise and the limits of that vision. Presider: Meghan O’Sullivan, Director, The Belfer Center; Jeane Kirkpatrick Professor of the Practice of International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School Speaker: Graham Allison, Douglas Dillon Professor of Government, Harvard Kennedy School ------------------ This public lecture is organized by the 21st Century China Center (21CCC) at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy.
