Ambassador Nicholas Burns on the U.S.-China Relationship

Jude Blanchette

China has emerged as one of the 21st century's most consequential nations, making it more important than ever to understand how the country is governed. Welcome to Pekingology, the podcast that unpacks China's evolving political system. I'm Jude Blanchette, the Freeman Chair in China Studies at CSIS, and this week I'm joined by Nick Burns, a career diplomat, currently serving as the United States Ambassador to China since 2022. Today we'll be discussing his views on the current state of the US-China relationship.

Ambassador Burns, thank you for joining the podcast.

Ambassador Nicholas Burns: Thanks Jude. Really nice to be with you.

Mr. Blanchette: Ambassador Burns, if I may, I'd like to ask you the question we ask all guests, which is a biographical one. I'm curious how you got interested in Asia and China, any early experiences or formative experiences that drew you to the region?
