Charting the Future: U.S.–China Relations in an Era of Global Realignment
Charting the Future: U.S.–China Relations in an Era of Global Realignment
This in-person meeting is organized by the Institute of China-America Studies, The Carter Center, the Institute for China-Europe Studies and the National Institute of South China Sea Studies.
As the world adjusts to the shifting dynamics of power, technology, and global governance, the relationship between the United States and China stands as the central axis of international affairs. The 2025 Annual Conference will convene leading scholars, policymakers, and experts to explore how the bilateral relationship is being reshaped by global realignment—and what lies ahead.
Held under the theme “Charting the Future: U.S.–China Relations in an Era of Global Realignment”, the conference will reflect on the aftermath of the U.S. 2024 presidential election, the mercurial first ten months of the Second Trump Administration, the evolution of China’s global strategy, and the changing priorities of a multi-polar world. With intensifying challenges—ranging from technology decoupling and trade frictions to military tensions and climate crises—the future of U.S.–China engagement demands renewed analysis and dialogue.
