the u.s. china relationship in the middle east be defined? i think it is fair to say that in many other parts of the world like northeast asia and southeast asia, it is a good prediction that the united states and china will be in the era of great power competition and hopefully not confrontation. that will basically define the relationship. the story has not been written yet on the middle east. there are a number of places where the interests align and a number of places where they do not. which will be the dominant story, we do not know yet. to help answer these questions and look ahead we have a very important and useful set of commentaries we are going to here. it will be led by our keynote speaker who was deputy assistant to the president and senior director for the middle east. she was in the past a national security advisor to senator ted cruz and advised the texas governor as well. she has a phd and a masters degree from williams college and an undergraduate degree from trinity college.
