U.S.-China relations have entered perhaps their most trying period since normalization in 1979. As both countries rethink the trajectory of their relationship, the last 40 years of diplomacy are invaluable to informing new ideas on a way forward. On April 22, 2019 James Green, senior research fellow of the Georgetown University Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues and host of the U.S.-China Dialogue Podcast, moderated a group of highly esteemed U.S.-China experts for a conversation on the history and future of bilateral relations.

The event was hosted by the Brookings Institution and jointly sponsored with the Georgetown Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues.
