The Hoover Institution Program on the US, China, and the World held “Breaking the Engagement: How China Won & Lost America” on Wednesday, June 4, 2025 from 4:00pm – 5:30pm PT in the Shultz Auditorium, George P. Shultz Building.
For over five decades following the 1972 rapprochement between the United States and China, the two countries seemed to be steadily building a sound relationship, even accounting for periodic setbacks like the Tiananmen Square massacre. The last decade, though, has seen a sharp increase in tensions and a complete reorientation of American policies toward China—from “engagement” to “competition.” What happened? In this book talk on “Breaking the Engagement: How China Won & Lost America”, esteemed scholar David Shambaugh examines the evolution, expansion, and disintegration of the American engagement strategy towards China.
The event featured:
– David Shambaugh, Esteemed Scholar and Award Winning Author
– Elizabeth Economy, Hargrove Senior Fellow and Co-Director of the Program on the US, China, and the World at the Hoover Institution
– Larry Diamond, William L. Clayton Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution
