On September 19, 2014, High-end Serial Forum on “China and Global Governance” was held in the Qiulin Lecture Hall of the School of International Studies, Peking University.
As part of the serial forums on China’s diplomacy and international issues, this forum is sponsored and hosted by the School of International Studies of Peking University in the form of open “dialogues”. Each forum plans to invite 3-5 leading experts, scholars or significant government officials from home and abroad to conduct rational and in-depth discussions on some major and hot spot issues in China’s diplomacy and international relations. In addition, the forum will invite scholars from universities and think tanks, foreign envoys in China and the media to participate in the dialogue and interaction. The host hopes that the forum will promote people’s pragmatic and rational thinking on China’s diplomacy and international issues, enrich their knowledge and deepen their understanding of relevant issues, and provide some new methods and new ideas for China and the international community to respond more effectively to regional and global issues. It is hoped that it will help the international community understand China more objectively and comprehensively, and be conducive to China’s diplomacy.
The theme of this forum is “The New Type of China-US Great Power Relations”. Over the past 30 years, with the rapid growth of China’s economy and the improvement of its comprehensive national strength, China has become a pivotal country in international politics, and has more and more important interests in the existing international order. During this process, China-US relations have also undergone tremendous and profound changes, displaying unprecedented complexity. While the common interests increase and the scope of cooperation expands continuously between the two countries, the structural contradictions become prominent, and strategic suspicions and contests are increasing as well.
In June 2013, at the California China Summit, leaders of China and the United States called on the two countries to build a new type of great power relationship, hoping to control differences, strengthen cooperation and achieve win-win results through joint efforts. What progress have China and the US made in establishing a new type of great power relationship when more than a year has passed? What are the challenges? How should the two countries respond to these challenges? Professor Jia Qingguo, Dean of the School of International Studies of Peking University, Professor Jin Canrong, Vice Dean of the School of International Studies of Renmin University of China, General Yang Yi, former Head of International Institute for Strategic Studies of National Defense University PLA China and Researcher Da Wei, President of Institute of American Studies of China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations expressed their views on above issues and had extensive and in-depth discussions with the participants on related issues. The forum has met the expectations.
