Description

Mike Froman is president of the Council on Foreign Relations and former U.S. Trade Representative. He joins ChinaTalk for the first time to discuss:




  • Why his 1992 dissertation on détente is suddenly relevant again – and why “positive linkage” fails to change adversary behavior,




  • How mutual assured destruction has shifted from nuclear weapons to rare earths, supply chains, and technology, and why the U.S. and China are stuck in a costly, uncomfortable stalemate,




  • Trump’s unorthodox use of economic leverage and America’s resilience problem,




  • CFR’s new cross-fellow initiatives on China, economics, and open-source analysis,




  • Plus: an inside look at how think tanks work — salaries, funding, and what to expect from Mike Froman’s tenure leading the CFR.
