Since the 1970’s, the international scientific community has made major progress in analyzing the facts, exploring the mechanism, and forecasting the future trends of climate change, providing a scientific basis for humanity’s response. However, climate change science still leaves much room for uncertainty and controversy.
China and the United States, as the world's major economies, are in consensus on the need for cooperation on climate change issues. So what efforts have Chinese and American scientists made in researching the most important aspects of climate change science? How to make climate policies based on science? What is the impact of the so called ‘Climate Gate’ on policymakers? For responses to these questions, we are honored to bring together the two countries’ most authoritative experts for an in-depth dialogue.

University rankings have added an important aspect to the competitive market forces in higher education. In the desire to achieve high standing, some universities are responding directly to the criteria used in creating these comparisons—especially such factors as research expenditures, publications, and highly cited professors. The rankings also have indirect influence. For example, larger institutions are likely to generate more scholarly output, so increased enrollment and faculty size are logical responses to the rankings. Governments, too, react to these comparisons as a matter of national pride, often investing more resources to boost the competitiveness of their universities.

President Barack Obama is scheduled to arrive in Tokyo on November 13, beginning his first trip to Asia as president. He will also travel to China, South Korea and Singapore, where he will take part in meetings of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum.
On November 6, the Center for Northeast Asian Policy Studies and the John L. Thornton China Center at Brookings hosted a discussion of President Obama’s trip and the issues he is likely to face. Jeffrey Bader, special assistant to the president and senior director for East Asian affairs on the National Security Council, provided a keynote address outlining the White House’s strategy for the trip. A panel of leading experts then focused on each stop in President Obama’s journey, analyzing, as appropriate, environmental cooperation, trade issues, alliance management, and regional security challenges.
