Asia Pacific Security and U.S. – China Relations

The U.S.-China relationship has never been more uncertain than it is today. The Center is at the forefront of measures to improve dialogue and communication on contentious issues between the two nations. Through dialogues and joint research, the Center has fostered constructive conversations among former senior military officers, government officials, and leading scholars in the U.S. and China on both the South China Sea dispute and nuclear proliferation on the Korean peninsula. This Program has received generous support from the Henry Luce Foundation for its multiple projects including Promoting U.S.-China Communication and Dialogue on the South China Sea Disputes (2016-2019) and U.S.-China Security Dialogues: Advancing Communication at a Bilateral Crisis Point (2019-2022). On May 22, 2020, the Henry Luce Foundation approved an urgent needs grant to support the Center’s Luce Dialogue on U.S.-China Relations During and After the Pandemic project. This project will address critical challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and aims at improving understanding and cooperation between the two nations during the pandemic crisis
