摘要

On November 13, 2001, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency's Office of Advanced Systems and Concepts sponsored a meeting on the future of the United States-Chinese strategic relationship in light of the events on September 11, 2001. The purpose was to discuss alternative approaches to U.S. nuclear strategy vis- -vis China. The workshop was organized by Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) and took place at its conference facilities in McLean, VA. The meeting opened with a welcome from Dr. Lewis Dunn, Senior Vice President of SAIC. The workshop participants specialized in nuclear and Chinese issues. Two read-ahead papers, A Dynamic Picture of China for U.S. Defense Planning by Christine Razzano (see Appendix A) and Alternative Nuclear Strategies vis- -vis China by Greg Weaver (see Appendix B), provided the foundation for the discussion.
