The relationship between the United States and China is the most important, difficult and vital bilateral relationship in the world today. So how does the U.S. make its China policy? How do different administrations address the China policy? And how has it changed over the past two decades? In this discussion, Susan Shirk, professor emeritus at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy and founding chair of the 21st Century China Center, talks with Stephen Hadley, former national security advisor to President George W. Bush, about the evolution of U.S.-China relations in recent years. Also joining the discussion is Paul Haenle, who served as the White House China director on the National Security Council staffs of former presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
