The seminar began with opening remarks from Professor Wu Xinbo, Director of the CAS Fudan, and William Antholis, Director and CEO of the UVA's Miller Center.

The discussions then focused on two key topics: “Domestic Factors Influencing Foreign Policy in China and the U.S.: Issues and Prospects” and “The Future of U.S.-China Relations.” Experts and scholars engaged in in-depth discussions on the multidimensional challenges facing U.S.-China relations, shifting foreign policy priorities in both countries, and strategies for maintaining the resilience and stability of bilateral ties.
