However, the modern-day physician needs to think in an integrative fashion, drawing simultaneously from multiple disciplines to effectively diagnose and treat patients’ illnesses.

• Lecture: "China's Historical Tradition: Implications for U.S. Policy" with Prof. Robert Walz '66

  Start Date: 09/17/2019 07:00 PM   End Date: 09/17/2019 08:30 PM

  American leaders do not understand the Chinese historical tradition which still influences Chinese decision-making. While American leaders rarely know U.S. history and usually do not let it impact their decision-making, Chinese leaders not only know their history, but it also profoundly affects their choices and policies. Professor Walz explores how 2,500 years of Chinese history including Confucian philosophy, Chinese conceptions of the Middle Kingdom and the Chinese dynastic cycle inform China's current engagement with the United States. Chinese-U.S. relations in the military, economic, diplomatic and informational dimensions reflect deep historical memories of western incursions in China, the Chinese revolution and communist rule. Walz concludes that Chinese-American relations will be rocky and fraught with danger because the Chinese long-term goal of restoring its former greatness is inimical to U.S. interests.
