DESCRIPTION:2010 in Sino-US Relations: Taiwan\, Tehran\, Tibet &amp\; Trade
 -- A Rocky Road Ahead? Unlike all of his predecessors over the last 30 yea
 rs\, President Obama came into office with almost no political baggage wit
 h respect to China. Indeed\, many people in his Administration and out hai
 led his presidency as the opportunity for a new stage in Sino-U.S. relatio
 ns\; an essential partnership in which both sides could jointly address th
 e big global issues of the day. However\, one year into the Obama presiden
 cy\, and after disappointing engagements with China on climate change\, in
 ternational affairs and trade\, many in Beijing and Washington are wonderi
 ng whether the new stage of Sino-U.S. relations is one of friction rather 
 than partnership.&nbsp\; These issues certainly offer some difficult chall
 enges for both countries. Charles Freeman of CSIS will address those issue
 s. Lunch will be served.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;
