Dr. Mohan Malik

Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies (APCSS) Professor Dr. Mohan Malik published an article entitled “The Pivot in US-China Relations” in the Foreign Policy section of the China – US Focus website http://www.chinausfocus.com.

The website is produced by the  China-United States Exchange Foundation, a non-government and non-profit organization based in Hong Kong. Established in 2008, the China-United States Exchange Foundation seeks to foster a strengthened and improved relationship between China and the United States that is and will continue to be beneficial to China, the United States and the world-at-large.

Dr. Malik’s article highlights the importance of the U.S. – China bilateral relations and asks the questions:

“What does the Asia-Pacific region want from China and the United States?”
“What sort of regional order Asians want to live in the years and decades ahead?”
“What is China’s vision of the regional order in the years and decades ahead?”
“More importantly, are the US and Chinese visions in sync with regional aspirations? What are the similarities and differences in those visions?”

Dr. Malik’s area of expertise is Asian Geopolitics & Proliferation, and he is internationally recognized as an expert and leader in U.S. – China relations and has written several books and articles on the subject.
