SUMMARY:Going Ballistic: The Taiwan Strait Crisis at 20
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, December 13\, 2016\n1:30 PM to 4:00 PM\nThe Conference Center at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace\nRoot Room\n1779 Massachusetts Ave NW\nWashington\, DC 20036 \nIn June 1995\, Taiwan’s President\, Lee Teng-hui\, visited Cornell University to give a speech on democracy. The People’s Republic of China (PRC) responded with a series of coercive military actions which precipitated a major crisis in the Taiwan Strait. Beijing viewed the prospect of an internationally recognized Taiwanese democracy as a severe threat to its legitimacy and panned President Lee’s visit as a reversal of perceived American commitments to respect its version of the “one China” policy. In the wake of this historic event\, the PRC began to rapidly build-up its military capabilities for a future Taiwan conflict scenario. For its part\, the U.S. increased strategic dialogues\, training exchanges\, and arms sales to Taiwan. Now\, 20 years after the Crisis\, the military and political calculus across the Taiwan Strait has changed. China is far better able to execute military operations across the Strait\, but Taiwan is also better prepared to defend itself. Recently\, China has abducted Taiwanese citizens abroad\, limited Taiwan’s participation in international organizations\, and conducted threatening military exercises. Given the trend lines before us\, it is ever more important to evaluate the 1995-1996 Taiwan Strait Crisis\, and explore its implications for the future of the Asia-Pacific. \nThis conference will bring together a distinguished group of experts for a timely discussion on China’s behavior before\, during\, and after the Crisis\, with a special focus on the Chinese military. Panelists will also examine the ways in which U.S.-Taiwan relations were strengthened after the 1995-1996 Taiwan Strait Crisis\, and address some of the outstanding weaknesses which remain. \nRandy Schriver \nPresident & CEO\, The Project 2049 Institute  \nAbe Denmark  \nDeputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for East Asia\, Department of Defense  \nAmy Chang  \nFormer Staff Director\, Asia and Pacific Subcommittee\, House Foreign Affairs Committee \nIan Easton \nResearch Fellow\, The Project 2049 Institute  \nShirley Kan \nFormer Staff\, Specialty in Asian Security Affairs\, Congressional Research Service \nModerator: Rachael Burton \nResearch Associate\, The Project 2049 Institute  \n\nCarolyn Bartholomew \nVice Chairman\, U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission \nTiffany Ma \nSenior Director for Political and Security Affairs\, The National Bureau of Asian Research  \nMark Stokes \nExecutive Director\, The Project 2049 Institute  \nModerator: Rupert Hammond-Chambers \nPresident\, U.S.-Taiwan Business Council

SUMMARY:Seek Truth From Facts: The Chinese Communist Party's War on History
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, September 20\, 2016\n2 PM to 4:15 PM\nLocation: The National Press Club\nThe Holeman Lounge\n529 14th Street NW\, 13th Floor\nWashington\, DC 20045 \nThe phrase ‘Seek Truth from Facts (实事求是) was introduced to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as a hallmark slogan of Mao Zedong and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The CCP’s narrative of its history is a critical component of the Party’s domestic and foreign policy\, as it aims to legitimize its own power and supremacy. The slogan has been used throughout the PRC’s 66-year history\, and served as a political tool in Deng Xiaoping’s 1978 speech which allowed the Party to enact much needed reforms while maintaining its authority. The Chinese Communist Party thus utilizes political work groups and education to push its narrative of history to shape and define the discourse on the Party\, rule of law\, and foreign policy. However\, to “Seek Truth from Facts\,” has tragically resulted in the revision of history\, human dignity\, and the pursuit of “adherence to the Party.” \nThis conference will bring together an expert panel to identify and assess the impact of the CCP’s war on history at home and abroad by addressing the Sino-Japanese War\, the Party’s historical claim to Tibet\, and confronting the use of history to consolidate national identity and its relevance to the ‘rise of China.’ \n\nHomare Endo \nXin Haonian \nModerator: Rachael Burton \n\nRowena He \nHelen Raleigh \nNadège Rolland \nMichael Davis \nModerator: Kelley Currie

SUMMARY:China as a Responsible Stakeholder? A Decade Later
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, March 22\, 2016\n1:45 PM to 4:45 PM\nLocation: The Newseum\nKnight Conference Center\nFreedom Forum Entrance\, 6th Street\n555 Pennsylvania Ave\nNW Washington\, DC 20001 \nIn 2005\, then-Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick used the term “responsible stakeholder” to address how China should wield its influence in the coming future. In his remarks\, he classified the U.S.-China relationship as one that must be built on not only shared interests but shared values. A decade later\, how has China contributed positively to the international system and met US expectations as a responsible stakeholder? Going forward\, what challenges\, changes\, and concerns will shape China’s developing role in global and regional affairs? \nThis conference brought together an expert panel to identify and assess areas where China challenges the existing international order and offered recommendations for a U.S. response to reinforce the pre-existing security and economic architecture in the Asia-Pacific. \nEvan Feigenbaum  \nVice Chairman\, Paulson Institute \nModerator: Rachael Burton  \nResearch Associate\, Project 2049 Institute \nCheng Xiaonong \nDirector\, Center for Modern China \nHe Qinglian  \nCommentator\, Chinese Branch\, Voice of America \nJohn Lee  \nNonresident Senior Fellow\, Hudson Institute \nOriana Mastro  \nAssistant Professor\, Walsh School of Foreign Service\, Georgetown University \nMolly Roberts  \nAssistant Professor\, 21st Century China Program\, UC San Diego \n\nModerator: \nRandall Schriver  \nPresident and CEO\, Project 2049 Institute \nKathleen Hicks \nSenior Vice President\, Henry A.

SUMMARY:Taiwan's Future Submarine Program: A Deep Dive
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, December 1\, 2015\n2 PM to 4 PM\nLocation: The Conference Center at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace\nRoot Room\n1779 Massachusetts Ave NW Washington DC 20036 \n  \n \nThe comprehensive transformation of China’s military forces has prompted a regional increase in defense development and acquisition to include submarine capabilities. Inherently stealthy\, and equipped with a diverse range of sensors and weapon systems\, submarines are a “force in being” that have a political effect beyond the military realm. Taiwan’s indigenous submarine program would enhance regional stability by providing a credible and survivable deterrent to potential PRC use of force\, and enhancing Taiwan’s relative position in future cross-Strait political negotiations. \nThis conference brought together a panel of experts to focus on Taiwan’s submarine program in relation to the PLA’s force modernization and Taiwan’s defense strategy\, and identify key policy goals for U.S.-Taiwan relations. \n\n\nSchedule \n2:00-2:30 pm\nOpening Brief: \nMark Stokes\nExecutive Director\nProject 2049 Institute \n2:35-3:45 pm\nPanel: Assessing the Requirement for Taiwan’s Submarine Program and Why it Matters for America \n Moderator:\nSabrina Tsai\nResearch Associate\nProject 2049 Institute \nPanelists:\nRoger Cliff\nNonresident Senior Fellow\nAsia Security Initiative\nAtlantic Council \nJacqueline Deal\nPresident and CEO\nLong Term Strategy Group LLC \nEric Sayers\nProfessional Staff Member\nSenate Armed Services Committee\nUnited States Senate  \n3:45-4:00 pm\nKeynote Address: \nRear Admiral David Yang\nDefense Attaché\, Defense Mission\nTaipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office \n

SUMMARY:Influence Operations: Chinese Political Warfare in East Asia and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:The Project 2049 Institute and The Heritage Foundation cordially invite you to the following conference \n  \nInfluence Operations: \nChinese Political Warfare in East Asia and Beyond \n  \nIn 2015\, China’s military modernization efforts and its assertive activities in the East and South China Seas dominate public discourse on China’s growing influence. While these developments are usually viewed through a military lens\, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA)’s activities should be considered and examined as an instrument of statecraft to achieve specific political outcomes as a form of political warfare. Chinese political warfare and influence operations actively target foreign governments\, organizations\, groups\, and individuals to shape their perceptions and behavior. Driven by its political goals\, Chinese influence operations are a centerpiece of PRC’s overall foreign policy and military strategy. \nThis conference will bring together a panel of experts to focus on the characteristics of Chinese political warfare and will identify key political goals and tactics in its influence operations towards specific targets in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. \nSchedule  \n2:00-2:45 pm\nIntroduction: \nWalter Lohman\nDirector\, Asian Studies Center\, Heritage Foundation\n \nOpening Address:\nAaron Friedberg\nProfessor of Politics and International Affairs\, Princeton University\n \nCommentary:\nMark Stokes\nExecutive Director\, Project 2049 Institute\n \n2:45-4:00 pm\nPanel:\nChinese Influence Operations in the Asia-Pacific Region and Beyond\n \n Moderator:\nSabrina Tsai\nResearch Associate\, Project 2049 Institute  \nPanelists:\nDean Cheng\nSenior Research Fellow\, Asian Studies Center\, Heritage Foundation\nShih-Chung Liu\nDeputy Secretary-General\, Tainan City Government in Taiwan\nRandy Schriver\nPresident and CEO\, Project 2049 Institute  \n4:00-4:15 pm\nCoffee Break\n \n 4:15-5:oo pm\nKeynote speaker\nCongressman J.

SUMMARY:Beyond Rebalancing: Realizing Security Objectives in the Asia-Pacific Region
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, Oct 22\, 2013\n2:00 – 5:30 PM\nCarnegie Endowment Conference Center\n1779 Massachusetts Avenue NW\, Washington\, DC 20036 \nIn 2011\, President Obama outlined a strategic concept to increase the United States’ attention on the Asia-Pacific region by rebalancing U.S. engagements\, activities\, and resources toward this vital area of the world. In order for the U.S. and its allies to hedge against potentially destabilizing contingencies in the Asia-Pacific region\, the role of security partners should be further examined and better defined. Effective cooperation between Washington and its partners hinges on the political\, economic\, and technological capital for building partnership capacity. Innovative alternative approaches to ensuring regional security and the development and implementation of a strategic vision for the role of U.S. and security partners are needed to help sustain peace\, stability\, and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region. \nDuring this conference\, the keynote speaker and panelists addressed innovative alternative approaches to ensuring regional security and developing a strategic vision for the role of U.S. and regional security partners to help sustain peace\, stability\, and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region.

SUMMARY:How to Realize the Asia Rebalance's Rhetoric
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, June 4\, 2013 10:00AM – 11:30AM\nDirksen Senate Office Building\nRoom G-11 \nIn late 2011\, President Barack Obama announced his decision to “rebalance” American foreign policy toward Asia. The President can only achieve his goals for the Asia-Pacific by working with Congress to execute a comprehensive\, long-term strategy. In light of this shift in policy\, individuals from the Foreign Policy Initiative\, American Enterprise Institute\, the Project 2049 Institute\, and the Long Term Strategy Group have prepared a memo on how the United States can best execute this new policy.

SUMMARY:Reviving Japan: Can It Win the Asian Century?
DESCRIPTION:Post-Event Summary\nJapan is currently facing many struggles\, ranging from high national debt to political stagnation. In an event held Wednesday at AEI\, experts from both Japan and the U.S. discussed the actions Japan should take to revive its political and economic systems and protect its security. Taro Kono of the National Diet insisted that the Liberal Democratic Party should focus on center-right policies such as small government and economic growth to motivate the general public to participate in the political discussion and future elections. He emphasized the responsibility of Japan’s politicians to reinvigorate the country. AEI’s Claude Barfield pointed out the significance to Japan of joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership\, which he noted will be difficult but beneficial to both Japan and the U.S. Tetsuo Kotani of the Okazaki Institute also emphasized the importance of leadership in Japan\, calling for leaders with “philosophy and determination.” Although Japan currently confronts many difficulties in its political\, economic\, and national security arenas\, AEI’s Michael Auslin focused on Japan’s strengths and stability. Finally\, Sugio Takahashi of Japan’s National Institute for Defense Studies and Ministry of Defense illustrated some dynamics in Japan’s security policy\, claiming that this is a sphere where the political parties have mostly come to a consensus. On balance\, the speakers emphasized that although many problems exist\, there is still hope for Japan to enact the policies it needs to win its future. \n—Mayuko Yatsu \nEvent Description\nJapan has fallen on hard times. Economic and political stagnation and the March 2011 earthquake have inhibited the nation from assuming a more proactive global role. But Japan\, one of America’s bedrock allies\, has an important part to play in the coming “Asian century.” How can Japan reinvigorate its political and economic systems? Given China’s rise and increasing assertiveness\, how will Japan approach an uncertain security environment? At this AEI event\, Taro Kono (Liberal Democratic Party) will offer his vision for what Japan needs to win its future\, followed by a panel discussion with AEI and Japanese scholars. \n\n\nAgenda\n1:45 PM\nRegistration \n2:00 PM\nIntroduction: \nGARY J.

SUMMARY:Taiwan’s Future in the Asian Century: Toward a Strong\, Prosperous and Enduring Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Post-Event Summary\nTaiwan has enjoyed great success in forging a strong democracy and developing its economy. However\, it still faces a number of future internal and external challenges. Today\, a group of panelists convened at AEI to look at these challenges and their implications for Taiwan’s future in the Asian century. To begin the first panel\, Shelley Rigger emphasized that both the United States and Taiwan need to recognize the value of Taiwan’s democracy as a main connector in the U.S.-Taiwan relationship. Mark Stokes addressed Taiwan’s growing security challenges\, including its political isolation and the increasing strength of the Chinese military\, and detailed several key questions for the country to consider in formulating its security strategy. Szu-yin Ho\, in addition to addressing the principles and methods of Taiwan’s security strategy\, pointed out that negative demographic trends will force the government to make difficult choices between “guns and butter” to address Taiwan’s economic and security issues. \nIn the second panel\, Jean-Pierre Cabestan outlined the debate within the European Union on relations with Taiwan and concluded that this debate and discussion within the United States on the same issue are interconnected. Dan Twining pointed out the often-overlooked importance of Japan in Taiwan’s security calculus and the need to strengthen that bilateral relationship. AEI scholar Claude Barfield discussed the rise of bilateral economic partnerships in Asia\, as well as the future implications of the Trans-Pacific Partnership for Asian regionalism. Finally\, Randy Schriver countered arguments of those who advocate for the United States to abandon Taiwan\, arguing that the United States should continue to support Taiwan through arms sales and other means.\n—LARA CROUCH \nEvent Description \nTaiwan’s transition to democracy and its continued economic growth are making for one of Asia’s great success stories. Yet the country has found that even with growing prosperity and political vibrancy\, its unique challenges have not abated. Taiwan still lives in the shadow of a hostile China\, faces continuing international isolation and finds it increasingly difficult to defend itself from external aggression. Confronted with such difficulties\, how will Taiwan continue to consolidate its young democracy? How will Taiwan defend itself in the coming years? What is the outlook for Taiwan’s ties with Japan\, Europe and the United States? How will the island ensure its continued prosperity? A group of experts will discuss these and other questions at this special AEI event. \n  \n\nAgenda\n9:15 AM\nRegistration \n\n9:30 AM\nPanel I: The Future of Taiwan’s Internal Development \nPanelists:\nSHELLEY RIGGER\, Davidson College\nMARK STOKES\, Project 2049 Institute\nSZU-YIN HO\, National Chengchi University \nModerator: \n\nDAN BLUMENTHAL\, AEI \n10:45 AM\nPanel II: The Future of Taiwan’s External RelationsPanelists:\nJEAN-PIERRE CABESTAN\, Hong Kong Baptist University\nDAN TWINING\, German Marshall Fund of the United States\nCLAUDE BARFIELD\, AEI\nRandy Schriver\, Project 2049 Institute\n\nModerator:\nGARY J.

SUMMARY:Is the United States Ready for China's Rise?: Alliances for a New Asia
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 19\, 2011\n10:00 am –11:30 am\nLocation: American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research\, 12th Floor\n1150 Seventeenth Street\, Washington\, DC\, 20036 \nThe United States seeks to maintain its presence in East Asia\, a posture that has provided security to our allies and stability to international trade. Increasingly\, it appears China is not content with the American-made and –dominated international order and is now developing the capability to undermine it. The budding US-China security rivalry will shape the region’s future\, but experts still debate the effect of China’s rise on regional stability. Is China an emerging threat? If so\, is America’s hub-and-spoke Asian alliance system appropriate to deal with it? In what ways might the alliance system be restructured? AEI Resident Fellow Dan Blumenthal\, with colleagues from AEI and the Project 2049 Institute\, recently wrote a paper addressing these issues titled “Asian Alliances in the 21st Century.” At this AEI event\, Mr. Blumenthal and co-author Randy Schriver of the Project 2049 Institute will present their findings. James Traub\, contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine and columnist for ForeignPolicy.com\, will share his comments.

SUMMARY:Reconsidering America's China Policy: Engaging Party and People
DESCRIPTION:March 17\, 2011 \nDramatic changes in Sino-American relations have left the longstanding US policy of “engagement” with China outmoded and ineffective. China’s economic\, political\, and military ascension has led to a more assertive and muscular Beijing\, complicating American attempts at diplomatic engagement on key issues. Too often\, “engaging” China has meant engagement only with the Chinese Communist Party\, with modest results on human rights issues to show for the effort. \nAEI and the Project 2049 Institute\, which seeks to guide decision makers toward a more secure Asia by the century’s midpoint\, will cohost a conference examining US policy toward China\, particularly American engagement of Chinese civil society. With new dynamics shaping Chinese and American interests\, the conference will evaluate the prospect of a diplomatic strategy both more effective and better aligned with US interests and values. \nAgenda\n8:45 a.m.\nRegistration and Breakfast9:00 \nIntroduction:\nRandall Schriver\, Project 2049 Institute\n9:15 Panel I: A Review of Engagement \n\nPanelists:\nCAROLYN BARTHOLOMEW\, US-China Economic and Security Review Commission\nSOPHIE RICHARDSON\, Human Rights Watch\nDEREK SCISSORS\, Heritage Foundation\nMARK STOKES\, Project 2049 Institute \nModerator: DAN BLUMENTHAL\, AEI \nQuestion and Answer \n10:45\nPanel II: Engaging Civil Society and Reaching the People\nPanelists:\nSHARON HOM\, Human Rights in China\nHO-FUNG HUNG\, Indiana University\nREBECCA MACKINNON\, New America Foundation and Global Voices Online\nJENNIFER TURNER\, Woodrow Wilson International Center\nModerator:\nKELLEY CURRIE\, Project 2049 Institute\nQuestion and Answer \n12:15\nAdjournment \n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7agEMP03vQA&ab_channel=AmericanEnterpriseInstitute
