In this video, Joseph Nye, Harvard University professor, discusses his thoughts on China’s future based on outcomes from the Party gathering in October.

Joseph Nye, Harvard University professor, is known for coining the phrase “soft power,” which he has argued can be used in both competition and cooperation between China and the U.S. In this interview, James Chau speaks with Nye to unpack the overlapping interests between the two countries and what they each must do to achieve cooperation and managed competition.

When the leaders of China and the United States finally met at the G20 last month, it signaled a restart in face-to-face dialogue. But what are the outcomes from their three hour interaction? Our Host James Chau speaks with Chen Dongxiao, President of the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies.

It’s imperative to look at history when considering the current state of the China-U.S. bilateral relationship, or even the state of the world. In this video, Joseph Nye of Harvard University sits down with James Chau to discuss how the past is impacting the present, and how it can give us a better understanding of how to approach the long-term global future.

The social and economic challenges China is experiencing are not unique. In fact, they're quite similar to obstacles being faced by the rest of the world, including the U.S. But our history and cultural heritage play a huge role in how we react. In this video, economist and Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs unpacks China's response to these challenges, and reminds us that if we could remember that we’re all in this together, we could undoubtedly come up with better global solutions.

The once-in-five years gathering of China’s top leaders has come and gone, setting the stage for the country’s domestic and geopolitical pursuits over the next half-decade. Jeffrey Sachs, economist and professor at Columbia University, emphasizes that the meeting made one thing clear: China will keep moving forward no matter what. And if the U.S. wants to make headway in bilateral cooperation, Washington must shift their tone.
