2024 Prospects for U.S. Ties with China: “Are we partners or are we adversaries?”

Three members of the USHCA’s leadership had the honor to be invited to a small “old friends” reception to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in San Francisco on November 18, 2023, the same day that President Biden and President Xi met on the sidelines of the APEC meetings. Following that small gathering, the USHCA representatives then joined close to 200 guests from around the U.S. to attend an exclusive dinner at which President Xi delivered a significant speech in which he shared China’s openness to cooperation and posed a crucial question: “Are we partners or are we adversaries?”

The Biden-Xi meeting and the special reception and dinner on that day have led to many recent positive developments in U.S.-China relations. In this webinar, Susan Thornton, USHCA Vice-Chair, and one of the leading American experts on China, will lead a discussion about the 2024 prospects for U.S.-China ties based on their takeaways from the San Francisco meetings and their other interactions with U.S. and Chinese counterparts.
