On July 11, 2013, the U.S.-China Policy Foundation, cooperating with the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, the U.S.-China Business Council, and other organizations, hosted a dinner welcoming China’s delegation to the fifth round of the Strategic and Economic Dialogue. China’s top two S&ED participants, Vice Premier Wang Yang and State Councilor Yang Jiechi, were the guests of honor along with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. The dinner was held at the Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, D.C.

The fifth round of S&ED talks took place in Washington, D.C. July 10-11. Vice Premier Wang co-hosted the economic branch of the talks along with U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew. State Councilor Yang Jiechi and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry co-hosted the strategic segment. This was the first round of S&ED talks since the Chinese political

transition and U.S. Cabinet changes--all four hosts were newly appointed.

One of the most talked-about advances was a potential breakthrough on a long-hoped for bilateral investment treaty between the United States and China. This year’s S&ED also featured working group discussion on cybersecurity, a new addition to the Strategic Track and one that further expands U.S.-China interactions.

The July 11 dinner celebrated the successful conclusion of this year’s S&ED and provided an opportunity for the Chinese delegation to meet with U.S. scholars, business representatives, and policymakers. Prior to the dinner, Vice Premier Wang and State Councilor Yang talked with select guests during a VIP reception. The reception and dinner provided an informal atmosphere for guests to discuss major issues in U.S.-China relations.

Vice Premier Wang Yang speaks at a dinner for the 2013 Strategic and Economic Dialogue.

Greetings from Chi Wang:

Since our founding in 1995, the U.S.-China Policy Foundation has worked diligently to further our goal of promoting greater understanding between the United States and China. As a Chinese-American who moved to the United States in 1950, I feel a connection to both my birth country and my current home. The mission of USCPF is thus very dear to my heart. I know how vital positive U.S.-China relations truly are and realize the importance of doing everything in my power to help reach that goal.

However, I am not able to make a difference alone. The Foundation is only successful because of the involvement of an amazing group of individuals. Our Executive Board consists of retired former diplomats. Their combined expertise on China, on-the-ground experience with U.S.-China diplomacy, and continued scholarship is unparalleled. I am so grateful for their dedication and support.

The Foundation also employs young China scholars just starting out in the District. I have had the pleasure of working with many young talented Americans who give their time and hard work to our mission. The foundation also gives internships to Chinese students studying in the United States, exposing them to how American NGOs and civil society operate.

Because USCPF is a small organization, our employees have the chance to take ownership of their work, learn all facets of how our foundation runs, and make a tangible contribution towards bettering U.S.-China relations. We provide the best training ground for these young professionals who then take

what they learned with them into their future careers, many leaving USCPF for government and academic positions.

For me, as president of the U.S.-China Policy Foundation, working with these young adults is a great experience. It is refreshing to see the younger American generation engaged with China. They have all spent time living in China and striving to understand its language and culture. I am encouraged by the fact that these open-minded and talented individuals will be the China scholars and policy experts of the future.

The contributions of time and talent of our Executive Board and staff members have led to the completion of more successful events and programs. We were able to take a military delegation as well as two congressional staff delegations to China over the summer. Programs like these directly increase our personal bilateral ties. Here in Washington, D.C. we celebrated the U.S.-China relationship by welcoming Ambassador Lu Shumin at a dinner hosted by Ambassador Cui Tiankai and co-sponsoring a dinner honoring the Chinese delegation to the Strategic & Economic Dialogue.

We also held a panel on U.S.-Taiwan-China relations, a discussion of U.S.-China military relations, and a gala exhibit of Chinese art. These informational events, along with our Foundation’s publications and China Forum television program, help spread awareness and understanding about the U.S.-China relationship. I would also like to thank the guest speakers, all top China experts, who have contributed to China Forum, the only weekly local television program about China.

Looking forward, I hope the strong support from our friends continues to make USCPF a success. I also hope that more individuals, companies, and organizations who agree with the importance of U.S.-China relations will join us. With more support, we can grow and make even larger strides toward improved bilateral ties.

A Message from the President

On August 28, 2013, the U.S.-China Policy Foundation was proud to host a panel discussion exploring the future of Taipei-Beijing-Washington relations. The discussion, which was followed by a luncheon, took place at the Willard InterContinental Hotel in Washington, D.C. The panel discussion featured world-renowned experts on cross-strait issues. The panel was moderated by Dr. David Lampton, Hyman Professor and Director of SAIS-China and China Studies at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.

The first panelist, Dr. Richard Bush, spoke about the potential for cross-strait political talks. Dr. Bush is a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution and the Director of its Center for Northeast Asian Policy Studies and formerly served as Chairman of the American Institute in Taiwan. Dr.

Bush expressed his opinion that political talks between Beijing and Taipei, including confidence-building measures in the security sphere, are unlikely in the near future. He argued the 1992 Consensus, which has been used as the basis for all previous agreements, might have to be discarded in favor of a new formula in the future. Under the current interpretation of the consensus, Beijing and Taipei agree there is “one China” but each defines “China” differently.

Next, Bonnie Glaser discussed Taiwan’s quest for greater international space. Ms. Glaser is a Senior Adviser for Asia in the Freeman Chair in China Studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies as well as a consultant for the U.S. government on East Asia. She spoke extensively about Taiwan’s effort to increase its international role, with a special focus on Taiwan’s current push to join the International Civilian (cont.)

USCPF Welcomes Wang Yang, Yang Jiechi (cont.)(Continued from page 1) In their remarks at the July 11

dinner, Wang, Yang, Pritzker, and Vilsack praised the talks as productive while also emphasizing the need for patience and understanding of the many differences between the United States and China. Vice Premier Wang Yang summed up this attitude by quoting the Chinese folk saying, “You need a little patience to eat hot tofu.”

All the speakers were optimistic the U.S.-China relationship will continue to develop along a positive path, a good start to the goal of creating a “new type great power relationship” between the United States and China. Creating a “new type” of relationship was the vision agreed upon by President Barack Obama and President Xi Jinping during their meeting at the Annenberg Estate in Califronia. State Councilor Yang, a veteran of U.S.-China diplomacy, said the talks at the S&ED helped provide a roadmap for this new phase of the relationship as

envisioned by Presidents Xi and Obama.

The July 11 dinner was attended by representatives of the hosting and cooperating organizations, as well as by scholars from area thinktanks, U.S. and Chinese business representatives, government officials, and the media. In addition to the guests of honor, notable attendees included U.S. Ambassador to China Gary Locke, Chinese Ambassador to the U.S. Cui Tiankai, former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, and former Chinese Ambassador to the U.S. Zhang Yesui. In all, nearly 300 guests attended the dinner.

USCPF was proud to co-host this special dinner welcoming the Chinese delegation to the S&ED. The S&ED remains one of the most important dialogue mechanisms between the United States and China, and we hope the platform will continue to foster productive and honest exchange.

Ambassador Raymond Burghardt, Chairman of the Board of AIT, speaks at the USCPF’s August 28 panel discussion.

(continued from page 3) Aviation Organization (ICAO). Ms. Glaser noted Taiwan has many valid reasons for wishing to join international groups like ICAO that are entirely separate from a political need for international validation. However, expanding Taiwan’s international role will require a delicate balancing act. Consultations with Beijing are extremely useful, but Taipei must not seem to be “asking permission.” Likewise, international support, including from the United States, can be helpful but can also backfire if Beijing feels too much pressure.

Alan Romberg gave a presentation on Beijing’s approach to cross-strait relations. Mr. Romberg is the Director of the East Asia Program at the Stimson Center and previously spent over 20 years working in the State Department. Mr. Romberg predicted Xi Jinping will maintain the current incremental approach toward cross-strait relations and Beijing will be content with slow progress. Xi is aware of the remaining issues in the relationship and does not seem likely to press for a rapid solution. Still, Beijing is likely to push for new agreements in the economic, cultural, and even political spheres.

Dr. Robert Sutter’s remarks focused on the nuclear debates currently taking place in Taiwan and what effects those discussions might have on Taiwan’s relationships with the United States and China. Dr. Sutter is currently Professor of Practice of International Affairs at the Elliott School of George Washington University and formerly spent over 30 years working for the U.S. government in various capacities. In the wake of the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, there have

been arguments over whether Taiwan should continue building nuclear reactors or should switch to alternative energy sources. Complex questions about nuclear safety and energy security may have a spillover effect on Taiwan’s international relationships.

The final speaker was Ambassador Raymond Burghardt, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the American Institute of Taiwan (AIT). Ambassador Burghardt provided an update on U.S.-Taiwan relations, where he emphasized the importance

of the U.S.-Taiwan partnership. He said U.S.-Taiwan relations involve far more than military and security concerns, and high-level interactions have increased dramatically in recent years. The United States is committed to the relationship, as symbolized by the construction of the new AIT headquarters in Taipei.

Following the panel presentations,

the panelists answered questions from the audience about the possibility of a meeting between Ma Ying-jeou and Xi Jinping, the future of U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, and U.S. thoughts on Taiwan’s economic agreements with the PRC.

The panel discussion was covered extensively by media outlets, including Taiwan’s Central News Agency (CNA), Phoenix TV, CTI TV, TVBS TV, Radio Taiwan International, Taipei Times, and China Times.

USCPF was proud to host such a distinguished panel of experts to address this timely topic.

Welcome Dinner for Amb. LuOn July 24, the

U.S.-China Policy Foun-dation and the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China held a dinner welcoming Ambassador Lu Shumin, Executive Vice President of the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs (CPI-FA), and members of his delegation during their visit to the United States The dinner took place at the PRC Embassy and was hosted by Chinese Ambassador Cui Tiankai. In addition to Amb. Lu Shumin and his delegation, the private dinner was attended by USCPF Board Members, representatives from US-CPF corporate sponsors, prominent D.C.-area China scholars, and representatives from the Chinese Embassy.

In his welcome remarks, Amb. Cui Tiankai expressed his hope that U.S.-China relations will continue to work on cre-ating “new type great power relationship” as agreed upon by President Xi Jinping and President Obama at their “shirtsleeve summit” in Califor-nia. Amb. Cui also praised the work of non-profits such as USCPF and CPIFA in promoting people-to-people diplomacy and mutual trust.

Amb. Lu Shumin agreed with Amb. Cui on the importance of creating a “new type great power relationship” between the United States and China and explained the role CPIFA has played in fostering people-to-people diplomacy over the years. People-to-people diplomacy plays an important role in fostering mutual trust and mutual understanding. In addition to hosting foreign dignataries, including U.S. presidents, CPIFA also hosts scholars, retired government officials, and students.

Dr. Chi Wang, Presi-dent of USCPF, thanked Amb. Lu and CPIFA for their hard work in help-ing advance U.S.-China relations. USCPF has a long relationship with CPIFA, including work-ing together to arrange USCPF’s biannaul Poli-cymaker Trips to China (see p. 6). Dr. Wang also spoke about USCPF’s role in promoting peo-ple-to-people diplomacy.

USCPF frequently hosts Chinese delegations and arranges for U.S. scholars, retired officials, and congressional staff to travel to China. Dr. Wang thanked the Chinese Embassy for its many years of support.

For many of the dinner guests, the event marked their first chance to engage in conversation with newly appointed Ambassador Cui Tiankai. USCPF was proud to be able to provide a setting where guests could talk freely with Amb. Cui.

Over dinner, guests asked Amb. Cui for his thoughts on the most pressing issues in U.S.-China relations, including the prospect of negotiations with the DPRK, the future of Sino-Japanese relations, and the role U.S. businesses can play in helping China’s economic transition.

In addition to welcoming Amb. Lu Shumin through a gathering of his old friends, the dinner conversation also served to further mutual understanding between the United States and China. USCPF would like to thank the PRC Embassy and especially Amb. Cui for hosting this event. We hope to continue to work with both CPIFA and the embassy to foster mutual understanding through people-to-people diplomacy.

Amb. Cui Tiankai (back) gives his remarks

In late March, during a congressional recess, the USCPF left for China with another congressional delegation. The Policymakers Educational Trip to China program was, once again, a great success. USCPF took a diverse group of senior staff members, from both the U.S. House and Senate, on a 10-day educational tour around China hosted by the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs (CPIFA). The delegation spent time in Beijing, Guiyang, and Shanghai.

Our Spring 2013 delegation was made up of 13 congressional staff members from all regions of the United States. Republicans and Democrats were pretty evenly represented. The group was primarily made up of chiefs of staff, legislative directors, and senior staff from the offices of newly elected members of congress. USCPF was excited for the opportunity to engage staff from so many new congressional offices and to give these individuals a chance to experience China for the first time. None of the participants had visited China before.

The delegation first visited China’s Capital city, Beijing, to explore China’s political hub and speak with government officials. Members met first with Deputy Chief of Mission Dr. Robert Wang and other U.S. officials at the U.S. Embassy. This

provided an American perspective on the overall U.S.-China relationship and other key issues that would come up again

in meetings at China’s Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Commerce. In addition to official meetings, participants visited some of Beijing’s important historic sites, such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden City.

Next, the delega-tion visited Guiyang, in the rural province of Guizhou, and the urban metropolis of Shanghai. These two cities added diversity and depth to the trip, allowing partic-ipants to witness both a rural, poorer, minori-ty region, and China’s modern, commercial hub. The delegation also had the chance to meet with municipal officials in Guiyang and students and faculty from Fudan University and the Chi-na Executive Leadership Academy in Shanghai.

The Policymakers Educational Trip to Chi-na provided an opportu-

nity for congressional staff members to experience the history, culture, and diversity of China. The mission of the delegation was to provide congressional staff members with greater un-derstanding and insight into the vital U.S.-China relationship. We hope our participants will use the first-hand experience and knowledge of China they gained to assist in their work with Congress.

The Spring 2013 Policymakers attend a meeting at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The Spring 2013 Policymakers at the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs (CPIFA)

The U.S.-China Policy Foundation led another congressional delegation to China during the August congressional recess. USCPF’s most recent educational Policymakers Trip to China was a success. This 10-day trip, hosted by the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs (CPIFA), took senior congressional staff members to Beijing, Qingdao, and Dalian.

This summer’s del-egation consisted of 10 congressional staff mem-bers. Democrat, Repub-lican, and Independent Members of Congress were all represented. Par-ticipants came from both the House and Senate as well as from all regions of the country. The group was made up of chiefs of staff, legisla-tive directors, and senior staff from offices that serve on the Armed Ser-vices and Foreign Affairs Committees.

In Beijing, our dele-gation met with officials at the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the U.S. Embassy. Having these two meetings back-to-back gave our participants rounded insight into both the Chinese and U.S. perspective on key issues. These first meetings quickly set the tone for the entire trip, full of thoughtful questions and inter-esting dialogue.

With the recent emphasis the United States and China have placed on improving military-to-military relations, we wanted to make sure our delegation had the opportunity to discuss the future of U.S.-China military relations. Our delegation met with

officials from the Chinese Ministry of National Defense and with representatives from the Chinese Institute for International and Strategic Studies. Participants were also able to visit cultural and historic sites in China such as the Great Wall, the Great

Hall of the People, and the Forbidden City.

The delegation then rode China’s high-speed train to Qingdao. Both the high speed train and Qingdao’s sea bridge provided examples of China’s impressive in-frastructure projects. Participants also visited Chinese international corporations with offic-es in the United States and were able to discuss the prospects of future Chinese foreign direct in-vestment.

In Dalian, our del-egation visited an eco-nomic development zone, a high tech zone, and a commercial port. By visiting Qingdao and Dalian, both more devel-oped coastal cities, the congressional staff mem-

bers had the opportunity to see, first-hand, the results of Chi-na’s economic growth.

This policymakers trip to China helped congressional staff members learn more about China’s infrastructure, economic development, military, and foreign affairs. They also had the opportunity to have informal conversations with both national and local officials. These types of interactions and meetings increase mutual understanding between the United States and China and allow for improved U.S.-China relations.

From April 14 through April 21, the U.S.-China Policy Foundation led a U.S. delegation to China on a series of Track II dialogues to strengthen U.S.-China military relations. The delegation consisted of USCPF President Dr. Chi Wang, Ambassador Chas W. Freeman, Jr., and Admiral William J. Fallon. Ambassador Freeman served as Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs and has a long history of diplomatic involvement with China. Admiral Fallon previously served as head of U.S. Central Command and U.S. Pacific Command. The delegation was hosted in China by the China Institute for International Strategic Studies (中国国际战略学会). CIISS provides research and analysis from military officers and scholars on subjects such as the international strategic situation and China’s national security interests.

The purpose of the delegation was to enhance mutual understanding in the often contentious field of military relations. The delegation met with military officials, government leaders, and scholars to discuss the possibility of forging a “new type” great power relationship that includes a fresh start in mil-to-mil relations. The delegation spent April 15 through April 18 in Beijing, then departed for Qingdao, home of China’s North Sea Fleet.

While in Beijing, the delegation first met with representatives of CIISS, the Chinese host organization. The delegation held a workshop at CIISS with various experts, including military officers. The participants discussed the U.S.-China military relationship and analyzed specific issues such as tensions on the Korean peninsula and in the South China Sea. Later, the delegation held similar workshops at a variety of high-level research institutions, including China’s National Defense

University and the Academy of Military Sciences as well as the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center for Global Policy.

The delegation was honored to meet with General Qi Jianguo, Deputy Chief of General Staff of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army and chairman of CIISS, at the Bayi Building. Gen. Qi and the delegation discussed strategies for improving the U.S.-China military relationship and how to handle tensions over current issues. The delegation also met with State Councilor Yang Jiechi in Zhongnanhai. During the meeting, Councilor Yang and the delegation exchanged views on the future of the

U.S.-China relationship, especially military rel-ations, and how the two countries can work together in the future.

On April 18, the delegation traveled to Qingdao for a meet-ing with Admiral Yang Feijun, the Vice Com-mander of China’s North Sea Fleet. The delegation also had the opportunity to tour a Chinese Luzhou-class destroyer, the Shenyang. The destroyer’s captain, Zhang Changlong, led

the tour and a briefing onboard the Shenyang.

The trip provided an important opportunity for Track II diplomacy in the field of U.S.-China military relations. The delegation participants engaged in meaningful discussions with their Chinese counterparts, exchanging concrete proposals for improving mil-to-mil relations between the two countries. USCPF would like to thank CIISS for its help in arranging and hosting the delegation. We hope to continue hosting Track II dialogues on mil-to-mil relations, both in China and in the United States., to increase mutual understanding and cooperation on this vital issue.

On June 10, the U.S.-China Policy Foundation hosted a luncheon discussion of the April 2013 Military Delegation Trip to China. The luncheon took place at the Cosmos Club and was attended by members of USCPF’s board and representatives from area think-tanks and universities. Maj. Gen. Xu Nanfeng, the Defense Attache of the People’s Republic of China, was also present as a honored guest.

Adm. William Fallon and Amb. Chas Freeman shared their thoughts about their April 2013 trip to China as part of a military delegation organized by USCPF. Both men stressed that the conversations with Chinese officials and experts were more open than normal, resulting in meaningful discussions about the Korean peninsula, maritime disputes, and U.S.-China mil-to-mil relations. Adm. Fallon and Amb. Freeman noted similarities in the attitude of officials they met with during the trip and that of Xi Jinping. The Chinese government has been making serious overtures toward implementing a “new type of great power relationship” in the military arena. The Chinese government believes U.S.-China relations have reached a critical juncture, where both countries must decide if they are partners

or enemies.

While there is cause for optimism, Amb. Freeman cautioned no real progress has been made. For the mil-to-mil relationship to truly improve, officials on both sides will need to take concrete action in addition to having discussions. Adm. Fallon said China’s inclusion in the RIMPAC military exercise in 2014 is a positive step, but he would also like to see China attend the annual Chiefs of Defense Conference. This conference, attended each year by senior military representatives from over 25 countries throughout the Asia-Pacific region, is a site for significant dialogue, but China has not yet attended. At present, there is not enough meaningful dialogue between China and the United States., Adm. Fallon said. Amb. Freeman pointed out that without such dialogues it would be impossible to define the nature of U.S.-China relations, leaving a dangerous amount of uncertainty.

USCPF was proud to host this intimate discussion of U.S.-China military relations in light of the first-hand experiences of our April delegation.

Military Delegation Luncheon

GMU Art ExhibitFrom February 25 though

March 20, 2013, the Fine Art Gallery of George Mason University hosted the exhibit “Chinese Scrolls: From the Collection of Dr. Chi Wang.” The exhibit featured paintings from the collection of USCPF President Dr. Chi Wang, who has been collecting Chinese art for over sixty years. The exhibit gave D.C. area art enthusiasts the rare chance to see an individual collection of Chinese art pieces on display.

The exhibit featured over 35 Chinese scrolls, both paintings and calligraphy, dating from the Ming dynasty (1368–1644 CE) through present day, including artists from the PRC, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. In addition to Ming dynasty classical masters such

as painter Shen Zhou (1427-1509) and calligrapher Dong Qichang (1555–1636), the exhibit had a special focus on late Qing Dynasty art. Artists such as Pu Hua (1834-1911), Wang Su (1794-1877), and Ni Tian (1855–1919) of the Shanghai School represent the turning point between classical and modern styles of painting and calligraphy, making each of these works an important piece of Chinese art history. In addition, the exhibit featured rarely seen works by China’s

modern masters, including Qi Bashi (1863-1957), Zhang Daqian (1899-1983), Xu Beihong (1895-1953), Fu Baoshi (1904-1965), and Pu Ru (1896-1963).

Dr. Chi Wang (right) speaks at the opening of the GMU exhibit

On April 19, 2013, Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies’ Graduate Liberal Studies Degree Program hosted a book signing event with USCPF President, Chi Wang. Around 40 people attended the event at the faculty club, which was open to students, faculty, and the general public.

Dr. Wang spoke for an hour about his award-winning memoir, A Compelling Journey from Peking to Washington: Building a New Life in America. Dr. Wang’s memoir chronicles his journey from China to America, including his experiences of World War II, American life in the 1950s, the normalization of U.S.-China relations, and the ongoing effort to keep U.S.-China relations stable

and healthy. The book is not only a chronicle of one man’s life, but an overview of historical conditions in China and the United States, outlining how momentous events affect individual lives. Dr. Wang’s memoir was also published in Chinese as 《从北京到华盛顿： 我的中美历史回忆》.

A question and answer period and book signing followed Dr. Wang’s talk. Audience members asked about his family history and his various life experiences. Dr. Wang also introduced his newly published book, The United States and China Since World War II, which presents a comprehensive history of U.S.-China relations since 1945.

The location of the book signing could not have been more appropriate. Dr. Wang received his Ph.D. in history from Georgetown in 1969 and has been a professor there for over 40 years, specialzing in Chinese history and U.S.-China relations. Dr. Wang enjoyed this opportunity to share his life story, answer questions, and interact with individuals who share his interest in U.S.-China relations.

Anthony Tambasco, Associate Dean of Graduate Liberal Studies, introduced Dr. Wang, and Anne Ridder, Assistant Dean of Graduate Liberal Studies, organized the event. A number of Dr. Wang’s former and current students attended.

Authors include Dr. Shao Yuqun, Acting Director of the Center for American Studies, Shanghai Institutes for International Studies; Christina Lin, Fellow at the Center for Transatlantic Relations at SAIS-Johns Hopkins University; and Ali Wyne, associate of Harvard University’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.

Founded in 1992, the WJMC is a policy-oriented publication with scholarly articles on modern Chinese culture, economics, history, politics, and U.S.-China relations. Each edition of WJMC includes articles by top American and Chinese scholars, as well as reviews of recent books on China or U.S.-China relations.

Though U.S.-China relations are currently stable, there always remains a need to foster better understanding between the two countries. Support from friends, individuals, and corporations interested in building relations is welcome, no matter the amount. The U.S.-China Policy Foundation depends on such support to carry out its activities throughout the year.
