Regional Seminar: China, East Asia, Oceania, and INDO-PACOM (INDO-PACOM-24A)


​The China, East Asia, Oceania, and INDO-PACOM Seminar highlights the growing importance of Asia as a focus of United States (U.S.) policy and spotlights key issues influencing the U.S.-China relationship.  China massively alters the strategic calculations of every nation on the perimeter of the Pacific and Indian Oceans.  Further, China is a major geopolitical force that continuously tests the wisdom, skill, tenacity, and agility of the United States.  Yet China faces its own profound economic, cultural, and environmental challenges which are often overlooked or misunderstood in the West.  For the United States, the paramount foreign policy challenge is to understand and respond to the inevitable changes sweeping through the Indo-Pacific region over the coming decades.  Drawing upon the knowledge and experience of a diverse group of prominent experts on China as well as East and South Asia, this three-day area studies seminar offers attendees the opportunity to discuss regional issues of the moment in an informal off-the-record setting.​
