China and the US Presidential Election


Tonight at SAIS in Washington, there will be a China Policy Debate between Jeffrey Bader who will represent the Obama campaign and Aaron Friedberg who has replaced Lanhee Chen to represent the Romney campaign.  David Lampton, Director of SAIS China Studies, will moderate the debate.  For those of you not in DC, there will also be a live webcast of the event accessible at: http://bit.ly/ChinaDebateLIVE.





HNC students "vote" in the 2008 HNC mock election
Students in Nanjing are also gearing up for the American presidential election.  American students have requested their absentee ballots but historically HNC students have also held mock presidential elections that both Chinese and international students can choose to take part in.  Do you think the China policies discussed above will affect the mock election results at the HNC?
