The Fourth Annual Robert F. Ellsworth Memorial Lecture will feature Ambassador J. Stapleton Roy who will present a talk on "The Changing Geopolitics of East Asia." Ambassador Roy will discuss the implications for the U.S. of the gradual erosion in our air and sea dominance in the western Pacific caused by China's rapid military modernization as well as the factors that limit China's ability to dominate the region. He will address the difficulties China's leaders are encountering in seeking to preserve the essentials of an authoritarian system in a country that is too open to the outside world, both political and economically, to make this feasible over time.
