On June 27, Special Lecture by Professor Wang Li (Jilin University) was held in US Politics and Foreign Policy class (Prof. French) .

Professor Li gave a chronological survey of US-China relations ranging from the first contacts between the two countries through to the present. His lecture detailed the shifting influences on China in the modern era and the changes in mutual perceptions between the US and China over time. His lecture was enlivened through many asides and anecdotes from his personal experiences living in the PRC.

Students enjoyed his lecture very much and particularly benefited from hearing a Chinese expert’s view of China-American relations.
