Steinberg to Speak on China at CNAS Panel Next Week

I don’t know what he’ll say, but Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg probably wouldn’t address an audience convened by the Obama administration’s shadow Pentagon if he wasn’t prepared to issue some set of policy principles for handling China. The Center for a New American Security announced that Steinberg will give the keynote speech at a conference next week, titled “China’s Rise: The Long March To Global Power.” (Get it?) Averting a trade war is probably on the agenda.
