AMS Event Announcement
Dedicated to the development of the future stewards of U.S.-China relations
Join us April 18 from 6:30-7:30pm at the Center for Strategic and International Studies for a timely talk (in Chinese, of course) by SIIS' Dr. Zhao Long on the status and future of China-Russia-U.S. relations. As tensions between the United States and Russia increase, cooperation between China and Russia is increasing. Last week two senior Chinese officials, Wang Yi and Wei Fenghe, visited Russia, with the visit being framed explicitly as designed to send a message to the United States. What does this portend and what is are the implications for each country? Dr. Zhao Long, an expert on China-Russia relations and currently a visiting scholar at CSIS, will share his views on these important issues.
