Indo-Pacific Policy Dialogue (via Zoom)
24 May 2023 - 19:00 (Japan)
Academics and policy makers across the globe who have an eye on US-China relations express worry over the inevitability of conflict, of the Thucydides’ Trap. The Thucydides’ Trap is a deadly pattern of structural stress that results when a rising power challenges a ruling one. Over the past 500 years, the conditions required to meet the Thucydides Trap have occurred sixteen times, and the result was war in twelve of them. In today’s context, as an unstoppable China meets an immovable America, are we spiraling towards an inevitable conflict between these two great powers, or is there a way to avoid it?
With this question in mind, YCAPS’ Indo-Pacific Policy Dialogue will host Dr. Ji Miao, a Senior Research Fellow at the Trilateral Cooperation Studies Center’s Institute of Asian Studies, at the China Foreign Affairs University to speak on the current state of US-China Relations from the Chinese perspective and if it is possible to avoid the Thucydides Trap or if we are indeed doomed to repeat history..
