President George W. Bush has declared the twenty-first century to be liberty’s century and has made the promotion of democracy abroad the keystone of his administration’s foreign policy. Yet as freedom marches through Afghanistan, Iraq, and Ukraine, China remains unmoved by the current wave of democratization.
Will China’s strategy of combining economic development with political oppression defy the march of freedom touted by the Bush administration? How has the administration integrated China into its promotion of global democracy? What more should the U.S. government do to promote democracy in China? Please join AEI on December 14 for the inaugural session in a series of seminars to discuss the future of democratization in China.
