Dr. Hyer is an associate professor in the Department of Political Science at Brigham Young University and the Coordinator for Asian Studies. His research focuses on China's foreign relations. He has authored many articles on China’s arms sales, territorial issues, and US-China relations. He was the associate producer of “Helen Foster Snow: Witness to Revolution,” documentary movie (2000) and “From the Masses to the Masses: An Artist in Mao’s China” (2005). His book, The Pragmatic Dragon: China’s Grand Strategy and Boundary Settlements was published by University of British Columbia Press in 2015.
David and Dr. Hyer discuss China’s position on Russia and the US and what it might mean for Taiwan as well as for US-China and business relations going forward.
On a personal note, Dr. Hyer has been a mentor, a supportive resource, and friend for more than 25 years. Dr. Hyer introduced me to China when I was an undergrad in 1993. In his class I read Jonathan Spence’s In Search of Modern China, and Chen Village, by Anita Chan, Richard Madsen, and Jonathan Unger—The class and these books literally changed my life. I immediately changed majors from Pre-Law to IR and Asian Studies. I moved to Chongqing in 1995, Chaiyi in 1998, Shenzhen in 2003 and eventually completed a PhD in Global Sociocultureal Studies (Anthropology) with a dissertation focusing on Chinese Corporate Cultures in Thailand.
