CCS Spring 2026 Integrating Values and Interests in US-China Relations: Comple

February 11, 12:00pm - 12:00pm
Mānoa Campus, HYBRID (in person NEED RSVP on flyer)

This talk will examine the role of American values and national interests in US relations with China. This expands upon Dr. Potter’s 2025 report to the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada on Integrating Values and Interests in Canada-China relations. As Dr. Potter did in that paper, he will rely on the principle of “complementarity” to look beyond the purported dichotomy between values and interests, focusing instead on their interdependence and possibilities for mutual reinforcement. The talk will identify opportunities for complementarity in political, economic, and social dimensions of US-China relations. The talk will then address how complementarity analysis can help build policy resilience for effective management of US relations with China in response to current and future challenges.
