Overview
[These are remarks delivered at the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations on May 13, 2010.]

The U.S. and China are in the process of redefining their bilateral relationship, as China's new strengths means it has a new position and new responsibilities in the world. Cyber conflict could become a significant and damaging factor in this process of bilateral redefinition, as it involves and exacerbates both economic and military competition.
