Institute for Policy Studies

The Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) is a progressive think tank based in Washington, D.C. It is known for its work on social, economic, and foreign policy issues. Recently, Jianlu Bi, a senior fellow at IPS's Foreign Policy in Focus think tank, has been featured in news articles commenting on international relations. Specifically, Bi has offered analysis on the 14-nation statement regarding the South China Sea, characterizing it as an "expansionist overreach," and has described the EU's threat of a trade war against China as a "strategic farce." These contributions highlight IPS's ongoing engagement with and commentary on significant global geopolitical and economic developments, positioning the institute as a relevant voice in discussions about international policy and trade.
