Has your Chinese gotten rusty over the summer? Of course it has! Get back up to speed by joining us August 23, from 5:30-6:30pm, at CSIS (room 114) for a talk
entitled "The New Southbound Policy and U.S.-Taiwan Relations: Signaling Foreign Policy Self-Restraint in the Taiwan Strait." The talk and subsequent discussion will be entirely in Chinese, as usual. Our speaker is Dr. Ping-Kuei Chen, assistant professor in the Department of Diplomacy at National Chengchi University. The Tsai administration has made the Southbound Policy a core pillar of their foreign policy, aiming to strengthen ties with countries in Southeast, South, and Austral-Asia. This will be a very helpful lecture for anyone wanting to better understand Cross-Straight relations, the "Free and Open Indo-Pacific," and the future of Asia-Pacific security.
Dr. Ping-Kuei Chen is an assistant professor in the Department of Diplomacy, National Chengchi University, Taiwan. He received his Ph.D. degree from the Department of Government and Politics, University of Maryland, College Park. His research interests include security institutions, alliance cohesion, mass mobilization, East Asia affairs, and Cross-Strait relations. He is currently undertaking a fellowship at the Stimson Center.
