DESCRIPTION:Randall Schriver meets with Ma Ying-jeou\, former President of the Republic of China. \nJoin us for a public briefing about the U.S.-China relationship and the unfolding strategic competition with the former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs. \nThe United States and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) may have arrived at an inflection point in the bilateral relationship. While some analysts continue to believe a cooperative relationship is possible\, and that the U.S. and the PRC can form a G-2 type partnership to tackle a range of global challenges\, an increasing number of analyst see a very different trajectory. China’s assertive behavior and confrontational rhetoric suggest we are the leading edge in what will be a long and intense strategic competition for dominance over the Pacific Rim. While American strategists Andrew Marshall\, Robert Kaplan\, and Aaron Friedberg each began foretelling of this great power struggle over a decade ago\, recent events seem to underscore this view. In February 2016\, the U.S. Secretary of Defense\, Ashton Carter\, announced that great power competition has reemerged as the Pentagon’s top priority\, and he expects it will define the next 25 years. Later in the month\, the Commander of the U.S. Pacific Command\, Admiral Harry Harris\, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that China seeks hegemony in East Asia. \nAre the U.S. and China destined for strategic competition? Can the relationship be managed to ensure the competition is benign\, doesn’t result in military conflict\, and allows for cooperation to exist where our interests align? Can robust trade and economic ties be sustained in an environment of growing rivalry? What are the key policy choices U.S. decision makers must make to shape the relationship toward its optimal state? Wise and prudent stewardship of a variety of challenges simultaneously will be required for there to be sustained peace and stability. This discussion will examine the current environment and will explore what policy approaches should be adopted by Washington. \nAbout Randall Schriver\nRandall Schriver served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs responsible for the People’s Republic of China\, Taiwan\, Mongolia\, Hong Kong\, Australia\, New Zealand\, and the Pacific Islands.

Fortunately\, both Democrats and Republicans prevented this from happening. Unfortunately\, the issue continues to arise across the country with more and more states including California making this legal. Join us for an important policy discussion to understand why if such a measure became law\, it would invert the doctor’s time-honored role from the sacred duty of sustaining life to the ghoulish power of terminating it. \nLeading the discussion will be Carrie Earll\, Vice President of Government and Public Policy at Focus on the Family\, Carrie Ann Lucas\,  J.D.\, CWLS\, Founder and Executive Director of Disabled Parents Rights\, and Michael J. Norton\, J.D.\, President-General Counsel of the Colorado Freedom Institute. \nSpeakers: \n \nRSVP Today\nAdmission is free and all are welcome\, but reservations are required.

Current law disserves them and all of us. Doing immigration right means doing it by the conservative principles of equality\, fairness\, free markets\, and rule of law. \nJoin us for a stimulating panel on how to begin\, chaired by Centennial Fellow Helen Raleigh with radio host Randy Corporon\, reform advocate Linda Chavez\, and attorney Anders Ingemarson. \nRSVP Today\nAdmission is free and all are welcome\, but reservations are required.
