On October 4-5, the Chinese and American scholars and policy academics present at the conference sessions examined how historical examples of great-power rivalry such as how the Cold War could illuminate the U.S.-China dynamics of competition in the age of globalization and economic interdependence, in the historical context of the evolution of Sino-U.S. strategic engagement as well as global and regional order. Participants drew on their research to elaborate upon issues regarding both the lessons of the Cold War and the implications of economic integration for the U.S.-China relations, by virtue of which policy implications from such discussions would be drawn out. Attendants forged the consensus of affirming the instrumentally positive note to convene the Sino-U.S. University Think Tank Dialogue at the current downturn in bilateral relations.
