Building a "New Model of Major Country Relations"

In an era when U.S.-China relations have become increasingly strained but harbor greater implications for regional and global security, the Xi and Obama administrations seek to build a framework that encourages win-win cooperation in order to avoid conflict and confrontation. The Freeman Chair in China Studies presents a discussion with a distinguished panel from China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the challenges and expectations associated with building a "new type of major country relations" between a rising China and the United States. The panel also places the "new type of major country relations" in the context of China's emerging foreign policy at large and explores the implications of this framework on China's relations with major powers and with the developing world as well.
