January 1, 2019 marks the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States of America. Over the past four decades, China-U.S. relations have evolved from tense standoffs to a complex mix of intensifying diplomacy. While our relations have grown deeper and stronger, a future of healthy competition and cooperation does not come without challenges. It would be exceptionally beneficial to take a look back at the lessons of history, particularly the legacies of those past 40 years. It is also crucially important to create a shared vision of bilateral relations underlined by mutually beneficial partnership. To that end, the Shanghai Institute of American Studies and the Center for American Studies of Fudan University, together with The Paper (a Chinese digital media outlet), present “40 People on 40 Years: An Interview Series Commemorating the 40th Anniversary of China-U.S. Diplomatic Normalization”, a project which features exclusive interviews with 40 renowned experts (20 from each side) and aims to closely examine the diplomatic path to where we are today, and explores the potential to strengthen mutual understanding and enhance collaboration. The China-U.S. rapprochement 40 years ago not only changed the world’s political landscape, but also changed the fate of countless Chinese and American people. We therefore decided to shed some light on the front-row witnesses to the development of China-U.S. relations, uncovering their personal journeys to China/U.S. studies as well as the highlights of their impressive careers. Our interview series features: From the Chinese side: Zhao Qizheng, Former Director, State Council Information Office Long Yongtu, Former Vice Minister, Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Tao Wenzhao, Researcher, Institute of American Studies, CASS Zhou Wenzhong, Former Chinese Ambassador to the U.S. He Weiwen, Senior Research Fellow, Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies, Renmin University of China Wang Jisi, President, Institute of International and Strategic Studies, Peking University Yang Yi, Former Director, Institute for Strategic Studies, National Defense University Yang Jiemian, Chairman, Academic Affairs Council, Shanghai Institutes for International Studies Cui Tiankai, Chinese Ambassador to the U.S. Yao Yunzhu, Senior Advisor, China Association of Military Science Huang Renwei, Former Vice President, Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences He Yafei, Former Vice Minister, Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ni Feng, Deputy Director, Institute of American Studies, CASS Zhu Feng, Executive Director, Collaborative Innovation Center of South China Sea Studies, Nanjing University Wu Xinbo, Director, Center for American Studies and Dean, Institute of International Studies, Fudan University; President, Shanghai Institute of American Studies Yuan Peng, President, China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations Chen Dongxiao, President, Shanghai Institutes for International Studies Da Wei, Assistant President, University of International Relations Song Guoyou, Deputy Director, Center for American Studies, Fudan University Diao Daming, Research Fellow, National Academy of Development and Strategy, Renmin University of China From the American side: Jimmy Carter, Former U.S. President Ezra Feivel Vogel, Professor, Harvard University Stapleton Roy, Former U.S. Ambassador to China Joseph Nye, Former Dean, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University' Kenneth Lieberthal, Senior Fellow Emeritus, Brookings Institution Jeffrey Bader, Senior Fellow, Brookings Institution Susan Shirk, Chair, 21st Century China Center, University of California, San Diego Terry Branstad, U.S. Ambassador to China David M. Lampton, Director of China Studies, Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies Thomas Fingar, Professor, Stanford University Harry Harding, Professor, University of Virginia Douglas Paal, Vice President for Studies, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Kenneth Jarrett, President, AmCham Shanghai; Former U.S. Consul General in Shanghai Robert Ross, Professor, Boston College David Dollar, Senior Fellow, John L. Thornton China Center, Brookings Institution Dennis Wilder, Managing Director, Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues, Georgetown University Robert Daly, Director, Kissinger Institute on China and the U.S. Paul Haenle, Director, Carnegie-Tsinghua Center for Global Policy Daniel Rosen, Founding Partner, Rhodium Group Peter Gries, Former Director, Institute for U.S.-China Issues, University of Oklahoma Over the span of about 12 months, we conducted 40 in-depth interviews in seven cities across China and the US. During that time, China-U.S. relations appeared to have hit alarmingly tense points. With domestic politics shifting inside the US, the Trump administration’s policy on China has been described as unpredictable. As most of the older generation of officials retire in Washington, new generations are finding it harder to resonate on historic issues with Beijing. Meanwhile, many are propagating the idea of a new cold war, zero-sum competition, or a power reshuffle. All of these ideas have posed new challenges to our bilateral relations. However, the people we spoke with maintained cautious optimism about our long-term future. They addressed hot topics such as trade frictions, the “strategic rivalry” “engagement vs containment” and the Thucydides Trap. They also expressed a shared wish for more cooperation and better relations between China and the US. There was a consensus among experts from both sides that we have to learn to adapt, improve communication, enhance mutual trust, expand cooperation, control disputes and seek win-win outcomes whenever possible. Starting on November 26, 2018, we will release one piece from the interview series every day. The first will feature Cui Tiankai, the current Chinese Ambassador to the US. Please stay tuned!
