Is the U.S. Pivot to Asia an Effort to Contain China?

, May 10, 2014

President Obama returned to Washington from Asia last week. Did he accomplish what he set out to do with his visit? Do America’s friends and allies in the region feel properly reassured? Do the initiatives announced during Obama’s visit and the broader U.S. pivot to Asia constitute a thinly veiled effort to contain China’s rise?

The following guests joined China Takes Over the World to discuss.

• Admiral Gary Roughead, U.S. Navy (ret.), former chief of naval operations, and one of only two officers in the navy’s history to have commanded both the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets

• Michael J. Green, Senior Vice President for Asia and Japan Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies; and former special assistant to the president for national security affairs and senior director for Asia at the National Security Council during the George W. Bush administration
