Join us in-person or virtually for a Nationwide Live Event on China, October 19
The two-part event, sponsored by the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations features an interactive webcast discussion and Q&A with a national speaker, as well as an expert speaker on-site to discuss specific China-related issues that have an impact on the local community.
CNN host and best-selling author Fareed Zakaria will be the featured speaker for CHINA Town Hall 2021, a national conversation on how the U.S.-China relationship affects our cities, towns, and communities. From supply chains to national security, new technologies to climate change, the future of both countries will be determined by their relations with one another and the global community.
China’s emergence as a global power, its role as a major trade partner amid recent frictions, and its potential as a collaborator on key U.S. global policy initiatives ensure that U.S.-China relations will affect the lives of all Americans. CHINA Town Hall will help audiences around the country understand the challenges and opportunities of what has been characterized as the most important bilateral relationship of the 21st century.
