EAI U.S.-China Relations Briefing December 2015 “Ending on a High Note?” The newest issue of the U.S.-China Relations Briefing entitled “Ending on a High Note?” summarizes the most important subjects addressed by the U.S. and China in the final month of 2015. Notable strides were made on some issues such as the WTO Information Technology Agreement and, as last month’s issue foreshadowed, China is attempting to bring the warring parties in Syria together to discuss peace. However, the two great powers remained apart on other pressing issues such as how to address the human rights situation in North Korea.    Recent Issues of the U.S.-China Relations Briefing November 2015 “The Duality Continues” October 2015 “Autumn Chill” September 2015 “Half Full or Half Empty?” Related Publications EAI Book | U.S.-China Relations 2025 EAI Column | “The Architecture of the East Asian Order in the Age of Complexity” EAI Column | “Revisions to the Guidelines for U.S.-Japan Defense Cooperation and Prospects for the Asia Pacific Security Order”
