The Defense Education Forum (DEF) of the Reserve Officers Association (ROA) would like to invite you to the following event:
US-China Maritime Security Relations Conference
The growth and expansion of Chinese maritime power carries enormous implications for US seafaring interests abroad. However, the impact of China's increasing oceanic presence does not stop at the waters edge. China's naval maturation also carries broader implications for a potential sea change in US-China & Northeast Asian security relations. Conflicting claims of maritime and territorial sovereignty, the rights of foreign military craft to operate in the region, and China's claimed exclusive economic zone, are just a few of the persistent factors driving this issue. On May 13, ROA and the Foreign Policy Research Institute (FPRI) will present a conference to examine the current and future state of US-China maritime relations. The session will address the prospects for conflict and accommodation, the merits of the each parties' claims, and the significance of these issues for broader US-China relations.
