This semester we’ll zero in on China’s relationship with the rest of the world.  First we’ll examine China’s relations with Taiwan by reviewing the latest election results and assessing the status of the one-country-two- systems blueprint to unite the nation.  Next we’ll study China’s foreign policy with nearby North & South Korea, Japan, the Philippines and Southeast Asia.  Then, by following the routes of the Belt & Road Initiative to Africa, the Middle East, Europe and Russia, we’ll examine China’s long-term ambitions in those regions.  And finally, we’ll conclude our study of China by analyzing the current status of relations with the United States.
