The Kissinger Institute is pleased to present the work of the 2022-2023 cohort of Wilson China Fellows to the reading public. This volume, like the two that preceded it, brings together the scholarship of some of America’s best young China scholars to cast light on three vital questions: What is the nature of the relationship between the United States and China? How do superpower relations affect the interests and strategies of countries in the Indo-Pacific? And, most importantly, what is happening in China itself?
Thanks to the partnership of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Kissinger Institute has, to date, recognized the work of fifty-six scholars from the social sciences, the humanities, and law and has helped them form connections that will strengthen their disciplines and enhance the United States’ ability to understand China and its political, economic, and environmental diplomacy.
The fifteen essays featured in this collection address a wide range of policy issues relating to China. From China's state-owned banks' operations in foreign markets to factions within the People's Liberation Army, the 2022-23 Wilson China Fellows have researched pressing policy questions and provided their insights and recommendations to policymakers, both in DC and around the world.
