Thomas G. Rawski on the U.S.- China Economic Relationship

NBR, the Henry M. Jackson Foundation, and the Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington co-presented the event "Outlook on the U.S.-China Economic Relationship" on November 10, 2010. The panel discussion examined what drives China's economic growth: How can China's growth be sustained? How will it be affected by China's upcoming leadership transition? How can the United States demonstrate effective leadership in such a complex relationship, especially in relation to the ongoing U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue? Welcome remarks and introductions were given by Resat Kasaba (The Jackson School of International Studies, University of Washington), Michael Wills (The National Bureau of Asian Research), and panel moderator John W. Hempelmann (Henry M. Jackson Foundation). Dr. Thomas Rawski joined the University of Pittsburgh's faculty in 1985 after fourteen years at the University of Toronto. His research focuses on the nature and implications of recent developments and long-term changes in the economy of China. His recent work includes editing and contributing to the volume China's Great Economic Transformation (University of Toronto Press, 2008), and coauthoring China's Rise and the Balance of Influence in Asia (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2007).
