Professor Emerita of Political Science and International Affairs Elizabeth Larus
Elizabeth Freund Larus, Professor Emerita of Political Science and International Affairs, offered the guest lectures【2023年中美關係路徑】(The path of US-China relations in 2023) to undergraduate students at Taiwan’s Tamkang University in Tanshui on February 23 and 【中美關係中近期的關鍵問題】(Recent critical issues in US-China relations) to graduate students at National Cheng-chih University in Mucha, Taiwan on February 24. In both lectures, Professor Larus indicated that China’s failure to allow an international investigation into the origins of Covid, repression in Xinjiang and nullification of the ‘one country, two systems’ formula in Hong Kong contributed to US government and public suspicion of China well before the recent balloon controversy. Larus claimed that there is little to foster US-China cooperation in 2023.
