China’s increased capacity is not incompatible with U.S. interests, says APARC Fellow Thomas Fingar in a recent video interview, a production of the Shanghai Institute of American Studies and the Center for American Studies of Fudan University, together with Chinese digital media outlet The Paper.

 

The video is part of the project “40 People on 40 Years: An Interview Series Commemorating the 40th Anniversary of China-U.S. Diplomatic Normalization.” January 1, 2019 marks that 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States.

 

The project features exclusive interviews with 40 renowned experts (20 from the United States, 20 from China) and aims to closely examine the diplomatic path leading the two countries to where they are today, while also exploring the potential to strengthen mutual understanding and enhance collaboration.
