China poses an unprecedented challenge for the United States and the rules-based liberal international order. The challenge spans multiple dimensions from human rights, military, economics, and technology to global governance. To better understand China and formulate effective policy, the United States needs a new generation of experts and policymakers who possess a deep understanding of China’s challenge to the United States and how the United States can address this. To train the next generation of policy leaders, the National Bureau of Asian Research launched the Ellings-Korduba Research Fellowship Program and organized the NBR Summer Seminar.
