Scott Kennedy is an American political scientist and China specialist currently serving as senior adviser and Trustee Chair in Chinese Business and Economics at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).[1][2][3][4][5]

Education

Kennedy holds a BA from the University of Virginia, a MA in China studies from Johns Hopkins University SAIS, and a PhD in political science from George Washington University.[1]

Career

Kennedy was a professor at Indiana University from 2000 to 2014.[1][6]

In September 2022, he became one of the first western scholars to visit China for in-person exchanges with PRC officials and business executives since the COVID-19 lockdowns.[7]

Views on US-China relations

Kennedy told Reuters about US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's July 2023 China visit: "The accomplishment of the meeting was the meeting itself, not specific issues. We're starting from a point in which the two sides have barely spoken to each other in three and a half years and the level of mistrust and cynicism has been layered on so thick."[8]

In a July 2023 NYT interview about the Chinese economy, Kennedy said: "China’s decision making is as hidden from our view as it has ever been, but China’s economic weakness is obvious for all to see, even China’s leaders, which can’t help but be one source of the recent moderation in foreign policy and willingness to engage Washington."[9]
