A discussion with David Shambaugh, Professor of International Affairs & Director of the China Policy Program, Elliot School of International Affairs, George Washington University and Distinguished Visiting Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University on his most recent book Breaking the Engagement: How China Won & Lost America

For over five decades following the 1972 rapprochement between the United States and China, the two countries seemed to be steadily building a sound relationship, even accounting for periodic setbacks like the Tiananmen Square massacre. The last decade, though, has seen a sharp increase in tensions and a complete reorientation of American policies toward China—from "engagement" to "competition." What happened? In Breaking the Engagement: How China Won & Lost America, esteemed scholar David Shambaugh examines the evolution, expansion, and disintegration of the American engagement strategy towards China.
