Why U.S.-China?

As two of the world’s largest economies both deeply engaged in the international system, the U.S. and China have enormous influence on the globe. In many ways, their relationship sets the course for the 21st century.

A peaceful joint relationship between the two countries leads to a pathway to solving many global problems. On the other hand, an increasingly contentious future would disrupt global stability and potentially cause a new Cold War or even catastrophic military conflicts. PAX sapiens believes that this represents a risk of a preventable global catastrophe.

Experts agree that the U.S. and China have common interests on a range of non-traditional security issues, such as combating climate change, supporting global non-proliferation, reintegrating in Global Trade and Investment, and preventing pandemics. PAX sapiens works through research and convenings to understand and identify what options exist for positive cooperation in areas of mutual interest for China and the U.S.
