Visting Scholar Chikako Ueki was a speaker at the Pardee School of Global Studies' Center for the Study of Asia at Boston University on Tuesday April 23. 

The talk traced U.S. and Japanese perceptions towards China in the last 30 years and sought to explain why the China threat they see differs in content, intensity, and in the timing they began to see China as a threat. It also explained what accounts for the seeming convergence of threat perceptions in recent years.
