Are China and India destined for conflict? What are the implications for the wider world? Jamie Metzl, Senior Fellow with the Asia Society and a member of the Vail Symposium Advisory Council, will propose and ponder these weighty questions in a discussion about these “frenemy” countries.

China and India are the two most important developing countries in the world. The rise of these two Asia giants is already reshaping global affairs. But as the two countries rise at the same time and in the same region, long simmering tensions between them are on the rise. The question of what kind of relationship China and India will have over the coming decades is therefore not only important to the people of those two countries, but will have enormous implications for the future of the world.

Jamie Metzl has served on the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Department of State and National Security Council. He appears widely on national and international media, and his syndicated columns and other writing are featured regularly in publications around the world. He has written two books on Asian affairs, holds a Ph.D. in Southeast Asian history from Oxford University, a juris doctorate from Harvard Law School and is a magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Brown University.
