Sponsored by the China-United States Exchange Foundation, the third bilateral working group meeting of the Pacific Community Initiative was held in Washington D.C. from November 11 to 13, 2018.

On October 6, 2016, at the launch of the Henry A. Kissinger Center for Global Affairs at School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) of Johns Hopkins University, the Center announced its joint research project with CUSEF on “Pacific Community Initiative”. 

The book, co-sponsored by China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF), proposed ways to facilitate a deepening economic ties between China and the US and suggested that both countries will benefit substantially from a bilateral free trade and investment accord. 

As a follow up to the earlier research report “Towards a New Model of Major Power Relations”, the Foundation partnered with the Center for American Progress and the Shanghai Institute for International Studies to find mutually beneficial areas where the U.S. and China can collaborate in the Middle East.

In 2013, CUSEF sponsored the study “US-China 2022: US-China Economic Relations in the Next 10 Years”, authored by prominent scholars in both the U.S. and China. This year, CUSEF plans to reevaluate and update the report, and the Foundation will review trends and phenomena that conform to the report’s predictions.

CUSEF and the Center for American Progress (CAP) launched a joint report “Towards a New Model of Major Power Relations”. The main report and three joint papers were launched in Washington, D.C. on February 20, 2014.
