Divided Politics, Unified Challenges? U.S.-China Relations Post-Election

As the United States navigates a changing political landscape following the recent election, questions arise about the future of U.S.-China relations. Two days after the Presidential inauguration, this timely discussion will bring together leading experts to examine the possible directions for U.S. foreign policy toward China, considering shifts in Congress and other key policymaking positions.

Join us on January 22, 2025 to gain insights from our panel of experts. The panel will explore how the election outcome and the new administration will impact key issues such as trade, security, technology, and environmental cooperation between the two countries, as well as broader geopolitical dynamics in the Indo-Pacific and beyond.

This is a joint program with the Washington State China Relations Council, the Rainier Club, and the China Studies Program and East Asia Center at the University of Washington.
