Imagining China’s evolution over time. How do you see China’s economic and societal contours over the longer run, and its implications for China’s political future? Is it possible to imagine a more modern and educated China without the political system undergoing transitions of various kinds? Do you believe that China might undergo severe internal upheaval and political instability? Do you think that China could yet again be sealed off from appreciable relations with the US, or is this wishful thinking, either on the part of the US or of China?
