In the fall of 1999 the Ethics and Public Policy Center initiated a new joint project with the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation called the Ronald Reagan Institute for Public Policy. "Coping With China," the Institute's second major symposium, was held on May 10, 2000. Information on the earlier event, "Rebuilding American Power," can also be found on this website.

The conference featured a keynote address by Wang Gungwu, director of the East Asian Institute at the National University of Singapore, a luncheon address by Zbigniew Brzezinski, counselor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and former National Security Advisor, and three topical panels. Professor Wang's paper is reprinted here.
