Zhu Feng is a professor in the School of International Studies at Peking University and executive director of the Collaborative Innovation Center for South China Sea Studies at Nanjing University. Concurrently, Feng serves as senior advisor to President Wang Jisi of the Center for International & Strategic Studies (CISS) at Peking University. Feng is a leading Chinese expert on East Asian security, and his research interests include regional security in East Asia, North Korea nuclear issues, China-U.S. relations and Chinese security policy.
The presentation is based on his finished research project. He argues that the bilateral relationship is characterized with geopolitical competitors. But there is no way both sides could escape from geostrategic cooperation simultaneously as the world and domestic politics have dramatically changed. The key test for both is how to avoid malicious circle of action and reaction.
