An independent task force established by the Council on Foreign Relations to examine changes in China and to evaluate what these changes mean for China and for the U.S.-China relationship has published its first report in the form of a book titled U.S.-China Relations: An Affirmative Agenda, A Responsible Course. Cheng Li, William R. Kenan Professor of Government, is one of the task force members responsible for the report. The task force is chaired by Dennis Blair, former president and CEO of the Institute for Defense Analyses, and Carla Hills, chairman and CEO of Hills & Company and the former U.S. trade representative.
According to the report: "Based on its careful assessment of developments in the country and China's likely future trajectory, the Task Force recommends that the United States pursue a strategy focused on the integration of China into the global community and sinds that such an approach will best encourage China to act in a way consistent with U.S. interests and international norms."
