The U.S., China, and the Geopolitics of the South China Sea

Free Event Admission

The South China Sea is among the world’s epicenters of geopolitical competition. 30 percent of all global trade ($5.3 trillion) passes through the waterway each year. China and its East Asian neighbors, including Indonesia, Japan, The Philippines, and Vietnam all have territorial claims, and established maritime defenses. Meanwhile in its pivot to Asia, the United States has been conducting freedom of navigation tours of its vessels in waters claimed by China.

How can the U.S and China reduce the risk of conflict, and work on a peaceful and equitable resolution in this pivotal international waterway?

Remembering America’s Ambassador for Christ and Pastor to Presidents

Join us at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum to reflect on the life of America’s Ambassador for Christ.
