From June 21 to 22, 2014, the Institute for Global Cooperation and Understanding (formerly known as Institute for China-U.S. People-to-People Exchange) of Peking University held the fourth round of U.S.-China Civil Strategic Dialogue with the Brookings Institution, a leading US think tank, at Beijing Hong Kong Jockey Club Clubhouse. An in-depth exchange of views was conducted on the Asia-Pacific rebalancing, maritime territorial disputes and a new type of great power relationship between China and the U.S. Professor Jia Qingguo, Dean of School of International Studies, Peking University and Executive Director of Institute for Global Cooperation and Understanding, and Jonathan Pollack, former Director of the John L. Thornton China Center of the Brookings Institution, co-chaired the dialogue.
The American side believed that Obama’s Asia-Pacific rebalancing has reactivated America’s existence in Asia and promoting constructive cooperation with China is also an intrinsic component of rebalancing; the existing international order should be adapted to China’s rise; the U.S. and China should refocus on cooperation on global issues; China should accommodate the concerns of its neighbors and avoid further deterioration of the situation in the region.
The Chinese and American participants pointed out that China and the U.S. should focus on pragmatic cooperation, expand common interests, and strive to establish a constructive new type of great power relationship between China and the U.S.
The American participants included Kenneth Liberthal and Jeffry A. Bader, former Senior Directors of United States National Security Council for Asian Affairs and Senior Fellows of the Brookings Institution, Jonathan Pollack, former Director and Senior Fellow of the John L. Thornton China Center of the Brookings Institution, Li Cheng, Director of the John L. Thornton China Center, Jones, Director of the Brookings Institution’s International Order Program, David Dollar, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, and Solana, former NATO Secretary-General and Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution.
