The Impact of the Chen Case on US-China Relations

Jeffrey Bader has had an inside view of US policy toward China for several decades.

He served as special assistant to President Obama, and as senior director for East Asian affairs on the National Security Council until last year.

Now he’s a fellow at the Brookings Institution.

Bader speaks with Marco Werman about what’s behind the public statements made by both China and the Obama Administration as the case of Chen Guangcheng unfolded.
