Jessica Chen Weiss is an American international relations scholar specializing in China–United States relations. She is currently the David M. Lampton Professor of China Studies at Johns Hopkins SAIS and Senior Fellow in Chinese Politics, Foreign Policy, and National Security at Asia Society Policy Institute's Center for China Analysis.[1]

Early life and education

Weiss was born and grew up in Seattle, Washington. She obtained a bachelor of arts degree from Stanford University in 2003[2] and attended the University of California, San Diego, graduating in 2008 with a PhD in Political Science.[3][4]

Career

In 2014, Oxford University Press published her book Powerful Patriots: Nationalist Protest in China’s Foreign Relations.[5][6][7][8][9][10]

She was senior advisor to the United States Department of State's Policy Planning Staff from August 2021 to July 2022.[4] She was the Michael J. Zak Professor for China and Asia-Pacific Studies at Cornell University's Department of Government.[3]

She has advocated for the U.S. government to avoid an "overly confrontational" approach in its relations with China,[11] and published an article in Foreign Affairs in August 2022 espousing this approach. Ian Johnson described that article in The New Yorker as catapulting her "to the front ranks of the growing number of China experts concerned that U.S. foreign policy suffers from an unhealthy focus on China as a threat."[12]

Weiss is a participant of the Task Force on U.S.-China Policy convened by Asia Society's Center on US-China Relations and a board member of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations.[13][14]

In July 2024, Weiss left Cornell to become the David M. Lampton Professor of China Studies at Johns Hopkins SAIS.[15]
