Elizabeth Economy argues that in the wake of a series of pollution related incidents in China, real effort is needed to save the environment.

Elizabeth Economy provides a brief assessment of President Obama's China visit during his trip to Asia, writing that, "it was, optically, one of the worst U.S. presidential visits to Beijing in memory," however, substantively, it was on par with recent presidential trips to China.

Elizabeth Economy asks, "Can humankind find its way to a world that is cleaner, safer, and fairer than the one we inhabit today?"

Elizabeth C. Economy  writes that "China matters more to the world every day-not just on trade and finance but on climate change, food safety, nonproliferation and other global challenges."

Elizabeth Economy writes that "until China's leaders fix things at home, they can't really tackle the global problems abroad."
