The meeting was presided over by Professor Jeon Duk Young of KAIST, one of the visionary individuals in Daejeon who fully grasped the value of such a forum for debate

Thank you for joining us this afternoon. We live in an age in which China’s impact on the world is growing daily, and yet many have only a very vague idea of how China actually works. Your insights are most valued. Tell us a little about your current research on China and Northeast Asia.

I spend most of my time conducting research on China-Taiwan relations these days. I am currently writing a book on contemporary Taiwan-China relations in which I trace the relationship and offer my views on prospects for the future. I also dabble in other aspects of East Asian Security issues from time to time. I have done a long report on North Korea and its nuclear programs. I have written about China-Japan security relations as well.
I will be speaking at 3:40 at the international conference of the Korea-China Social Science Conference (한중사회과학학회: 국제학술대회； 韩中社会科学学会：国际大会)to be held at Yonsei University tomorrow, Wednesday, February 22, 2012. My talk is on the complex relationship between China and the United States (talk is in Chinese).
