What impact will China's growing economic and political influence have in Asia? What are the sources, limitations, and likely evolution of China's non-military power? What strategies will other Asian countries adopt for dealing with a strong China, including the possibility of increased regional cooperation that does not include the United States? What measures should the United States take to maintain its traditional leadership role in Asia in response to these events?

Please join the American Enterprise Institute and the National Defense University for the inaugural session in a series of seminars to discuss these and other questions relating to the growth of Chinese power and influence in Asia. Dan Blumenthal of AEI and Phil Saunders of NDU will moderate a discussion on the question, "Will China be a Coherent Strategic Actor in Asia?"
