Join the University of Idaho China on the Palouse Speakers Series as we welcome Ambassador (Ret.) Chas W. Freeman, Jr. to speak on a topic of great importance to global security and well-being. Ambassador Freeman served as President Nixon's interpreter in China in 1972 and spent four decades working on U.S. foreign policy towards Asia and the Middle East, including a term as Ambassador to Saudi Arabia (1990-92). Both hailed and scorned for his "realist" take on foreign affairs, Ambassador Freeman pulls no punches in discussing contemporary U.S.-China relations.
