Fireside Chat | Perspectives from Japan on US-China Relations

Japan has a vital interest in the trajectory of US-China relations as a key US ally that views China’s growing influence as one of its most significant foreign policy challenges. To better understand Japanese perspectives on the current state of US-China relations, JCIE USA will host an intimate fireside chat featuring two leading experts on China from Japan. The discussion, moderated by JCIE USA Board Member Dr. Sheila Smith of the Council on Foreign Relations, will examine the latest insights from Japan on the state of US-China relations as well as the implications of the outcomes of the Trump-Xi summit, expected to take place on September 24 in Washington DC, for Japan, US-Japan relations, and the allies’ national and economic security.
