On the evening of Feb 14, 2020, a dinner on the theme of “The US-China Cold War? Myth and Reality” was co-hosted by the Munich Security Conference (MSC) and Center for China and Globalization (CCG). Fu Ying, Chair of CISS attended the event at its invitation.

 The dinner discussion was hosted by Wang Huiyao, President of CCG, Fu Ying and John Kerry, former US Secretary of State, delivered keynote speeches. The attendees shared their views about how to enable a forward-looking discussion about China-US decoupling to come to a realistic solution, why there will not be a “new Cold War” between the two countries, the history and current situation of China-US relations, and what the international community can do to prevent their competition from escalating into a “Cold War”.

The event was attended by over 30 experts and scholars, including John Demers, Assistant Attorney General for National Security at the US Department of Justice, Graham Allison, Founding Dean of Harvard John F. Kennedy School of Government, Michael Schaefer, former Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to China and Chairman of the BMW Foundation, Peter Ammon, former Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to the United Kingdom, and Wu Shicun, President of National Institute for South China Sea Studies.
