Virtual Event | Beyond China's Black Box: Trends Shaping China’s Foreign and Security Policy Decision-Making under Xi Jinping

Watch

China’s foreign and security policy decision-making apparatus is often described as a metaphorical black box. A new report from CNAS argues it is possible to develop a better understanding of the people, institutions, processes, and pressures that go into making China’s policies toward the world during Xi Jinping's “new era.”

On April 30, 2024, the Center for a New American Security hosted a virtual event featuring Jacob Stokes, Senior Fellow in the Indo-Pacific Security Program, CNAS; Jude Blanchette, Freeman Chair in China Studies, Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS); Amanda Hsiao, Senior Analyst, China, International Crisis Group (ICG); and Rorry Daniels, Managing Director, Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI), and Senior Fellow, Center for China Analysis, ASPI. Panelists discussed the report's analysis and recommendations as well as larger trends in China’s foreign and security policy decision-making under Xi.
