Judy Polumbaum and Mark Sidel were two of the earliest young Americans to arrive in China to teach after the Cultural Revolution, and each have remained closely engaged with China as researchers, teachers and writers ever since. Each provides a perspective on where China-US relations may be headed as we enter the Biden era, based on where we've come from over many decades, with lots of time for discussion and dialogue.

He focuses on civil society in China and on China-US relations, as well as on India and Vietnam. He served in Beijing, Hanoi, Bangkok and New Delhi n program positions with the Ford Foundation before moving into academic life.
