Engaging China cannot be limited to a singular perspective. The complexity of interactions between the United States and China for more than 100 years requires a more in-depth analysis. With this course, students explore American as well as Chinese perspectives on the governance of China, religious freedom, human rights, and differing strategies of political and military engagement. As a starting point for exploring the different principles of Western and traditional Chinese approaches, the course highlights the scientific principles of Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine. This offers insights into different approaches to public healthcare, managing well-being, and the treatment of illnesses. This course is designed for students who look for an opportunity to develop nuanced comparative insights into Chinese-American relations, in order to maximize access and understanding of different and fascinating systems of organizing society, science, and international relations.
