Growing Consensus on China: Real or Imagined?

Has the Washington policy community reached a durable consensus of views on the best policy approaches to China, or is there a diversity of viewpoints? How do career motivations and reputational considerations affect how national security professionals modulate their policy recommendations? In this online event, set for December 17, 3:00-4:00 pm US ET, the CSIS Trustee Chair in Chinese Business and Economics will review recent research that addresses these questions.
Rory Truex of Princeton University and Michael Cerny, a PhD candidate at Harvard University, will summarize their findings from a study involving over 50 interviews and a survey of over 500 foreign policy professionals about their views about China and U.S.-China relations. Trustee Chair Scott Kennedy will then moderate a discussion on this research with Jessica Chen Weiss of Johns Hopkins SAIS, Robert Daly of the Wilson Center, and Elizabeth Economy of the Hoover Institution, including taking questions from the online audience.
This event is made possible by generous support to CSIS.

The questions is how power is mediated through the network and institutions, instead of merely whether participants feel pressured or not

Free thoughts and expressions is the essence of liberty and democracy.

It's really interesting you should say this here. When it comes to American foreign policy, especially that on China, there is no freedom of opinion or expression. If you are not anti-China, you will not survive in Washington. You will be fired. You will not find any dissenting view in WP or NYT because they work for the Fed. government. Since Americans don't read anything but American media, it's easy enough to manufacture their consent. That's our "democracy" and "liberty." American has worked out its oligarchy pretty well while while having Americans thinking they are a beacon of liberty and democracy.

"Growing Consensus on China: Real or Imagined?" How about reaching consensus on the US first? Are we a democracy or something else? What role do we play in the world? etc.

The US as a warfighting power is done. We can still do a lot of damage with CIA abroad, but we should abandon this and just be a strong mercantile power. The world will remember our meddling, so better to quit on our own volition and call back to our self regulation in the future. This will win back our soft power, playing the long game better.

In this session did experiencing the same WHY per highlighted years especially from 2013 until present; My favorite quote reads; You can discuss everything but not with everyone, but you cannot have a civilised discussion if only one person is prepared to be civil. With me, because it's the perfect storm: extremely high consequences and make sure not to came with very little solid data. Topic discussion is controversial for the same reason: the decisions for solutions are important, and what evidence exists is actually contradictory to broadest conceivable scope. Public comment - still choose to wrote based on own experiences not others. Primarily this: The topic is one either victim or other parties involved dwell in at times, but it’s probably from the settler do not deeply examine. With aimed intent, work on right way through what it means direct to real one, and what truth mean about. Take it apart all the way down to foundation. Find why it bugs or might hurts even troubles to whome? I do not searching for, for years mostly been linking to mine. HUMAN.1987.WOMAN
