Indian-American journalist and host of CNN's flagship international affairs program, Fareed Zakaria, will deliver the 2024 Susan Shirk Lecture on U.S.-China Relations on Aug 7, at University of California, San Diego.
The event organized by the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy’s 21st Century China Center is part of the UC San Diego China Forum on U.S.-China Relations, the only American leadership meeting focused exclusively on China and U.S.-China relations.
The forum themed “Widening the Aperture: U.S.-China Relations in the Global Context” will take place from Aug. 7-10, featuring leaders from academia, think tanks, government, business, and the military. While the forum is invitation-only, Zakaria’s Aug 7 lecture is open to the public.
His lecture, titled “Winning the Cold Peace: A New Path to U.S.-China Relations,” will include a Q&A with Stephen Hadley, former national security advisor to President George W. Bush and forum co-chair.
“We are excited to welcome Fareed Zakaria, a thought leader and a prominent voice on public affairs and U.S.-China relations,” said Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla. “The UC San Diego China Forum is an example of the School of Global Policy and Strategy’s leadership and expertise on Asia and the Americas.”
Caroline Freund, dean of the School of Global Policy and Strategy, noted the forum's significance during the U.S. election season. “China relations are critical not only for the two countries involved but also for global stability, economic prosperity and international cooperation on various global challenges,” Freund said.
Zakaria is also a columnist for The Washington Post and a bestselling author. He has interviewed notable figures like Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin, and the Dalai Lama. Additionally, his daily digital newsletter, Fareed’s Global Briefing, and his Washington Post column are widely read. He has authored five New York Times bestselling books, including his latest, “Age of Revolutions” (2024), which will be available at the event.
The lecture will also honor Susan Shirk, professor emeritus at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy and founding chair of the 21st Century China Center.
