Wednesday November 18, 2020 from 6:00-7:15 PM
Many foreign policy experts are watching closely as tensions
continue to mount between the United States and China. As of now,
Beijing is increasingly seen as a competitor and an economic rival
to the United States.?Although numerous variables and trends in the
U.S.-China relationship are long term, the November U.S.
presidential election adds an element of uncertainty to the
relationship, as the election outcome could alter the growing divide
between the two nations.?Are tensions between the two nations at a
breaking point??
Join CCWA for a Foreign Policy Forum in light of the changing
dynamic between the U.S. and China on November 17, 2020, as we host
expert Susan Thornton. Susan Thornton is a retired senior U.S.
diplomat with almost 30 years of experience with the U.S. State
Department in Eurasia and East Asia. She is currently a senior
fellow and research scholar at the Paul Tsai China Center at Yale
University Law School; director of the Forum on Asia-Pacific
Security at the National Committee on American Foreign Policy; and a
nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
Until July 2018, Thornton was acting assistant secretary for East
Asian and Pacific Affairs at the Department of State and led East
Asia policymaking amid crises with North Korea, escalating trade
tensions with China, and the changing international environment. In
previous State Department roles, she worked on U.S. policy toward
China, Korea, and the former Soviet Union and served in leadership
positions at U.S. embassies in Central Asia, Russia, the Caucasus,
and China.
Thornton received her master’s in international relations from
Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and her
bachelor’s from Bowdoin College in economics and Russian. She serves
on several non-profit boards and speaks Mandarin and Russian.
