Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium
When Chinese President Hu Jintao visits Washington on April 20,
his reception is likely to be cool. The U.S.-China relationship is
increasingly strained as Washington eyes Asia's new "military
superpower" (as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice described) and
a likely "peer competitor" (U.S. Director of National Intelligence,
John Negroponte's view). President Bush and President Hu will
confront a range of issues: North Korea, Iran, energy security,
China's military buildup, proliferation of weapons of mass
destruction, human rights, trade imbalances and - of course -
Taiwan. What can we expect from this important meeting? What does
Congress think? Please join us for a panel discussion featuring key
Hill staff as they examine the future of the U.S.-China
relationship on the eve of President Hu's visit to the United
States.
