Wilson China Fellowship Conference 2023

U.S.-China competition increasingly dominates the foreign policy conversation. Tensions in the Taiwan Strait, decoupling in strategic technological sectors, and a growing struggle for influence in regions across the world signal a 21st century that will be defined in large part by U.S.-China competition. Yet, as President Joseph Biden has said, “We seek competition with China, not conflict.” Both countries depend upon the other economically despite concerns about dependence, and neither can address climate change alone. How can the United States compete with China while cooperating on issues of mutual interest? What role will emerging technologies and a rising Global South play in U.S.-China relations? Is this a “cold war” or something else entirely?

The Wilson China Fellowship supports a rising generation of American scholars dedicated to exploring every facet of U.S.-China relations and the rise of China. Please join us on May 22nd at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars as our 2022-23 Wilson China Fellows present their projects and discuss key policy issues with program alumni and other esteemed experts for our third annual Wilson China Fellowship Conference.
