Non LI Event - China, the United States and the Indo-Pacific region

The Lowy Institute's East Asia Program Director Linda Jakobson gave a lecture at the Land Warfare Studies Centre in Canberra on 22 June 2012. The discussion focused on the evolving great-power relationship between China and the United States in the Indo-Pacific region, looking at both the way Beijing and Washington perceive one another as key actors in the region and China's perception of the United States' Asia 'pivot'. Dr Brendan Taylor, head of the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre at the Australian National University, presented the view from Washington, while Jakobson presented the view from Beijing.
