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

SUMMARY:Author Event: The Dragon Roars Back
DESCRIPTION:There is an ancient Chinese proverb that says “a group of dragons with no leader has no power at all.” When examining the current state of Chinese foreign policy\, analyzing the civilization’s long history of complex political events\, processes\, and players is necessary to understand both the country’s ascendance and current leadership. \nJoin USHCA for our first author event of 2023\, as we invite Dr. Suisheng Zhao to discuss his latest book “The Dragon Roars Back: Transformational Leaders and Dynamics of Chinese Foreign Policy.” Dr. Zhao is a Strategic Advisor for the U.S. Heartland China Association. He is also an established voice in U.S.-China relations and has a long history in political science academic circles. He is currently a Professor at the University of Denver and Director of the Center for China-US Cooperation at Josef Korbel School of International Studies. \nClick here to register: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/6516742263160/WN_JTi1ZgTyRx26MnlqI515Nw

SUMMARY:Finding Security: U.S.-China Ag. Trade in a Changing World
DESCRIPTION: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. \nAs 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.

SUMMARY:Global Pandemic Response: What's Next?
DESCRIPTION:The pandemic has challenged healthcare systems around the world. Global responses to the pandemic has been so uneven and varied that it may feel like we are living through a giant experiment everywhere\, despite a shared understanding of the science. \nNow in its third year\, what have we leaned? What is the next? What choices do we have? How do we balance the social and economic dimensions with managing the health and health system impacts? \nWe have gathered experts from different countries to share lessons learned under different healthcare systems to shed light on the potential best path forward. \n\nFebruary 9th\, 2022\n\n7-8:30pm EST\n\nClick Here to register.

SUMMARY:HAINAN: CHINA'S HAWAII AND WORLD'S LARGEST FREE TRADE ZONE
DESCRIPTION: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. Often referred to as the “Hawaii of the Orient”\, Hainan is not only the world’s most dynamic tourism destination with a projected 80 million Chinese domestic visitors alone in 2021 but also the largest “lab” of the latest sustainable development experiment of the Chinese government. \nThanks to close collaborations with our friends at Arizona State University\, USHCA is bringing a diverse set of experts to provide an introductory overview of Hainan province\, its vision for a green and sustainable future\, and business opportunities related to Free Trade Port and Free Trade Zone promotional incentives. \nThis 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. \nFor more information\, speaker bios and to register… \nSkip straight to registration.

SUMMARY:Shrinking Cities in the U.S. and China
DESCRIPTION:Shrinking Cities in the U.S. and China: Challenges and Responses\n  \nEconomic transformation in both the U.S. and China has created winners and losers in its respective society.

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. \nThis webinar will also be in part to celebrate the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies’s 60th anniversary. \nFor more information and panelist bios… \n  \n  \n  \n
