Since 2006, EWI’s China program has worked with China's political, military, and academic leaders to integrate China into an international system of peace and security.  EWI has facilitated highly productive official and semi-official dialogues between China, the U.S. and other key powers, to build trust and foster collective management of global challenges.  As part of its ongoing engagement with China, EWI is building relationships with influential Chinese officials and organizations at the highest levels.  It continues to bring together business leaders, policy experts, military officers and government officials to take these relationships to a new level.

Initiatives under EWI’s China program include the following:

• U.S.-China High Level Security Dialogue, bringing together influential Chinese and American experts to develop common strategies on traditional and non-traditional security challenges.  
• U.S.-China High Level Political Dialogue among leaders of the International Department of the Chinese Communist Party, the U.S. Democratic Party and the U.S. Republican Party.
• Military Confidence-Building with the People’s Liberation Army, through private dialogues and exchanges between U.S. and Chinese military specialists.
• Trialogue21, an annual off-the-record dialogue among government and non-government leaders from China, the U.S. and Europe.
• Initiative on Cybercrime and Infrastructure Protection involving China, the U.S., Russia and India.
• Visiting Fellows from key civilian and military research institutes in China.

EWI’s work in China is carried out in partnership with prominent Chinese institutions, including the China Institute of International Studies (the think tank of the Chinese Foreign Ministry), China’s National Defense University, and the International Department of the Chinese Communist Party. Corporations, private individuals, and foundations across the U.S. support our work.
