The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace recently held the seventh debate in the Carnegie’s Reframing China Policy Series. Dan Blumenthal of the American Enterprise Institute, Bates Gill of the Center for Strategic Studies, and Carnegie’s Michael Swaine debated the topic, “Is China at present (or is it becoming) a responsible stakeholder in the international community?”:
The proposition calls on our debaters to address China’s role in seven key areas of international activity: 1) Counter-proliferation (especially re North Korea and Iran) 2) Asian security; 3) Energy security 4) Economic development and assistance; 5) Peace-keeping and enforcement; 6) The maintenance of an open, rules-based trading system; and 7) Human rights (especially the Darfur issue).
