Learning From Others:
The Tai Initiative understands that no one can ever know everything that is going on in the US/China relationship. There is so much happening, and the field is continually changing! But we can learn more from one another than we currently are. Are you one of the “positive outliers” achieving exceptional success in your bilateral relationship? If not, then what do you need to learn from those who are? If you are, what lessons do you have to share?

The Sub-National Level is the National Solution
We hope your visit will inspire you to new thinking about the US/China relationship, the most important international relationship for 21st century world history. International issues dominate the national news, yet every day great things transpire between our two nations at the sub-national level. The relationship is both complex and complicated. Old problems are changing. New actors question the old solutions. New problems appear, the solutions for which might appear from unexpected and creative sources. Though the future is uncertain, at The Tai Initiative we believe an opportunity currently exists for citizens of both countries to play an active role in shaping a positive outcome for the sake of humanity. Enjoy your exploration around the website, itself a story in progress, and join us.[/third][third_last]
