Tune in for what will be a superb discussion!

In recent years, relations between China and the US have deteriorated precipitously. Wedges have been driven into their relationship by many issues, and as a consequence, nearly every bilateral issue has become securitised. Both countries increasingly cast the other as an adversary, as reflected in their national security documents, statements, and media. How does this impact Asia-Pacific stability? What end-states do regional actors envision? On October 29, 10am KST, Dr. Manpreet Sethi and Joel Petersson Ivre, co-authors of the recent APLN report “Regional End States and Beyond,” will unpack the findings on Asia-Pacific perspectives regarding the long-term roles they wish China and the US would play in the region. They will be joined by: 🔹 Dr. Zack Cooper, Senior Fellow at American Enterprise Institute 🔹 Melissa Conley Tyler, Executive Director of Asia-Pacific Development, Diplomacy & Defence Dialogue 🔹 Professor YU Tiejun from Peking University Our discussion will be moderated by APLN Policy Fellow Tanvi Kulkarni, PhD.

In this week's The Korea Times column, Sadia Tasleem argues that nuclear weapons are ethically repugnant, militarily ineffective, and politically useless, citing Israel's war in #Gaza as a case where nuclear deterrence failed to prevent military conflict. She also warns that the normalisation of violence and disproportionate use of force could lead to a breakdown of the tradition of non-use of nuclear weapons. Read here: https://lnkd.in/d6q2tdRJ

241023: In this month's EE column, I expressed my usual position that I am opposed to nuclear weapons but recognize the necessity of the peaceful use of nuclear energy. The APLN-HBS workshop on this Monday helped me to reorganize my thoughts. 이번달 에너지경제신문 칼럼에서는 평소 제 소신인 핵무기는 반대하지만 원자력에너지의 평화적 이용은 필요하다는 생각을 피력해 보았습니다. 월요일에 있었던 APLN-HBS 워크샵이 다시금 제 생각을 정리하는 데 큰 도움이 되었습니다.
