Title: Defusing China's time bomb
Description: At the invitation of Executive Vice Minister of Health, Mr. Gao Qiang, this second CSIS delegation visit to China engaged a diversity of Chinese leaders, within and outside the health sector, in the capital, Beijing; in urban Wuhan City; and in rural Suizhou County, Hubei Province in east-central China. This undertaking is part of a broader initiative at CSIS that seeks to build bipartisan consensus on critical U.S. HIV/AIDS policy initiatives and to emphasize to senior U.S. policymakers, opinion leaders, and the corporate sector the centrality of U.S. leadership in strengthening country-level capacities to enhance prevention, regional scope, with an emphasis on building U.S. bilateral engagement in the large, populous, and geostrategically important states facing a looming HIV/AIDS threat, such as China, India, and Russia, which are part of the "Second Wave" of the global HIV/AIDS epidemic.
