- (Visit: www.uctv.tv/) What's in a word? Former diplomat and UCSD alumnus Kurt Campbell tells about the unintended consequences of choosing "pivot" to describe a new approach to China during his years in Secretary Clinton's State Department. Campbell shares other insightful anecdotes about relations between China and Japan and the release of Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest by the Myanmar generals with Susan Shirk, also a former diplomat who now runs the 21st Century China Program at the School of International Relations and Pacific Studies at UC San Diego.

Great talk, gentlemen like this reinforce my view that the State Department needs more funding, especially in the context of engagement with Asia.
Great talk. I came to listen to Susan Shirk but was won over by Kurt Campbell. Loved the story of running for the motorcade towards the end. Hilarious!
Would love to interview them both to hear their insights on Biz Wire (BON-TV, shameless plug!).
The biggest bully complaints a raising bully!!
Overall, a very interesting talk. However, Campbell's comments on the need to put history aside really shocked me. On the contrary, Japan must acknowledge and formally apologize for the war crimes it has committed. Without this apology, the Sino-Japanese relations will not, and can not improve. This is the sticking point for the future of relations in the region.
Pivot toward Asia is far too early and will be far too little when the time comes.
It is presumptive to conclude that China has recently made many mistakes.
China simply responses with restraint given its claims, which has existed for over 50 years.
China's response may well be both necessary and effective ultimately. I do believe so as long as China takes the long perspective and remains patient.
China will likely be very dominant in another 30 years, but not much sooner.
China military advantages in Asia, eventually over even Japan, will not be actually realized, but will be an important background.
China will achieve enough of its objectives with advantages as the status quo and economic advantages actually executed.
Big slap on Shirk's face! trying so hard to put her words in Campbell's mouth.
