The United States and China in the Global Economic Order

The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies (SIIS), with the generous support of the China-U.S. Exchange Foundation (CUSEF), conducted research in mid-2015 examining what the United States and China think about the emerging global economic order, what the two sides agree on, what each side is doing to improve the order, and—where there is no agreement—how the two sides can manage their differences. This paper distills the takeaways from those conversations.
