IN THE SPOTLIGHT

New Report: American International Relations and Security Programs Focused on China

The National Committee is pleased to announce the publication of a report based on a survey of leading American academic centers, think tanks, and NGOs that work on China-related issues. The report was commissioned by Carnegie Corporation of New York.

The purpose of the survey, conducted in late 2020, was to assess the state of China-focused international relations and peace and security programs in the United States. The 82 responses present a snapshot of the field in an era of global disruption, instability, and growing Sino-American tensions.

The surveyed organizations have traditionally played an important role in shaping the understanding of China among American policymakers, academics, and the general public; yet today, they face increasing pressure when doing so. Due to new dynamics in the U.S.-China relationship, scholars and practitioners have to find ways to navigate increasingly hostile environments in and between both countries, effectively manage risks, and endure heightened scrutiny of their organizations’ outputs.

Healthcare Dialogue

The U.S.-China Track II Dialogue on Healthcare virtually convened leading scientists, medical professionals, and business people on July 20 and 21 to explore key issues and developments in the health sector. The American delegation was led by former FDA Commissioner Mark McClellan; the Chinese delegation was led by former Vice Minister of the Chinese Ministry of Health Liu Qian and Peking University Professor Gordon Liu.

The dialogue focused on topics including COVID-19, telehealth and digital healthcare implementation, supply chain reform, and opportunities for data sharing and collaborative research. As with past dialogues, the two delegations are collaborating on a consensus agreement to be shared with policymakers on both sides.

Higher Education

On July 1, 2021, the National Committee, in partnership with the University of Michigan and the Michigan-China Innovation Center, hosted the second in a three part-series of practicums for Subnational Symposium constituents – a group of state officials working on China. Peggy Blumenthal (Institute of International Education), Mark Elliot (Harvard University), and Mary Gallagher (University of Michigan) discussed trends in student flows from China to the United States, the impact these trends have on local campuses and communities, and how universities and states must develop compliance frameworks that address national security concerns without impeding innovation.
