Shrinking Cities in the U.S. and China

Virtual Event Virtual Event

Economic transformation in both the U.S. and China has created winners and losers in its respective society. While some regions are thriving, others have struggled. In this joint event organized by LRCCS, USHCA, and Taubman, we have invited the leading experts on shrinking cities to explore the lessons learned from the post-industrial shrinking cities in both the U.S. and China and how both countries are learning to help the communities that are left behind in the face of technology and global changes.

Capital Flow Between the U.S. & China: The Winners and Losers

China and the U.S. have been deeply engaged with each other in many dimensions over the past two decades, but the recent de-integration between these two countries poses a real threat to the global economy. This talk will focus on the financial side of the decoupling, covering both the macro and micro aspects, as well as potential disruptions caused by the decoupling.

This event is part of USHCA’s ongoing series, The Way Forward, where we discuss different ideas and initiatives used by the US and China and how they can be applied to the Heartland region.

HAINAN: CHINA’S HAWAII AND WORLD’S LARGEST FREE TRADE ZONE

Is Hainan the next Singapore?  Or a newer and bigger one? Questions like these have been bubbling up ever since Hainan Province, China’s only tropical island, became China’s largest Free Trade Zone.

We have gathered experts from different countries to share lessons learned under different healthcare systems to shed light on the potential best path forward.

Finding Security: U.S.-China Ag. Trade in a Changing World

Despite growing competition between the U.S. and China, trade volume between the two countries remains significant and robust. U.S. agricultural exports to China, in particular, have seen tremendous growth. But the world is changing dramatically and the impact is felt locally in the Heartland, where a majority of the U.S. agricultural exports to China are produced.

As a global food security crisis is looming large over the horizon, what is the future of U.S.-China Ag trade, and how can the two countries collaborate to address global food security? This August, USHCA will have experts from both the U.S. and China to explore these questions and share insights on the impact of inflation, domestic production shifts, and the changes taking place in U.S.-China Ag trade and its impact to Ag producers in the Heartland.
