    From Partners to Foes: The changing U.S.-China Relationship and its Implications for Asia

    Lecture Abstract

    No bilateral relationship matters more for Asian — and global — security than the one between the United States and China. That relationship is undergoing a fundamental transformation that holds long-term implications for power equilibrium, stability and security for Asia in particular. Beijing’s partnership with Washington in the second half of the Cold Way helped open the path to China’s rapid economic modernization. The U.S., after co-opting China against the Soviet Union, directly aided China’s economic rise. Indeed, President Jimmy Carter sent a memo to various U.S. government departments instructing them to help in China’s rise. But now President Donald Trump’s trade war with China, according to Chinese state media, is potentially laying the foundation of a new Cold War. How will a U.S.-led pushback affect China’s reliance on large trade surpluses and foreign-exchange reserves to fund its expanding global footprint? Will such a squeeze undercut China’s current advantage in mobilizing vast state funds in support of, for example, Belt and Road projects — an advantage the U.S. cannot match because it must rely on drawing private funds? In contrast to China’s use of economic tools to achieve strategic objectives, the U.S. has too often reached for the gun instead of the purse. Will the U.S. now borrow a page from the Chinese playbook? And how will the changing Sino-American relationship shape Asian security and strategic equilibrium?
