About the Freeman Chair

The Freeman Chair in China Studies is established at the Center for Strategic and International Studies to advance the study of China and to promote understanding between the United States and the countries of the Asia Pacific region. The Freeman Family — Luther Freeman, as a clergyman, Mansfield Freeman, as a scholar-business leader, and Houghton Freeman as a corporate executive in a global enterprise — have established a tradition of contributing to international understanding through practical experience in East Asia and China.

The United States has a long standing relationship with China and the countries of East Asia — these countries that play increasingly important roles in the future international system in terms of economics, politics, culture, peace and security. In the diplomatic, public policy, business, and government fields, Americans and the peoples of China will benefit from greater mutual appreciation and understanding through broad based international exchange.
