The Xinjiang Case In The U.S.- China Relations
This online forum will address several common questions, such as:
- What role does Xinjiang play in current U.S.-China relations?
- Who are the Uighurs, and why is the US accusing China of genocide?
- How can we understand the policy of China toward Xinjiang in a historical context?
- Why has Xinjiang become a hot topic in today’s international relations?
- What are China’s policies towards other ethnic minorities in Xinjiang?
- What should we expect from the new American administration toward this issue?
Our panel of speakers with in-depth knowledge of China and the U.S. policies on these issues will address these questions and more.
