Special Issue on China and the war in Ukraine<\/p>\n

We\u2019re delighted to offer something new for China Currents<\/i> \u2014 a special, multimedia issue on China\u2019s response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The issue features three of our associates \u2014 Dr. Yawei Liu<\/a>, senior advisor on China at The Carter Center in Atlanta; Dr. Andrew Wedeman<\/a>, professor of Political Science at Georgia State University; and Dr. John Wagner Givens<\/a>, Associate Professor of International Studies at Spelman College. Each contributed a short essay with their perspectives on the question and then met for a fascinating Zoom discussion moderated by Katherine Peavy, a risk, resilience and security expert with many years of experience in China and East Asia. The essays and the video are featured in the issue.<\/p>\n

The idea for the issue arose from a discussion with Katherine Peavy, Dr. Wedeman, Dr. Givens, Dr. Penelope Prime, our managing editor, Dr. John Garver and me over a lengthy dinner shortly after the Russian invasion. We hope you find it as valuable as we found it enjoyable to produce.<\/p>\n
