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:China's Foreign Policy Deep Dive 1
DESCRIPTION:View the replay link here– \nThe U.S. and China share very different historical backgrounds in terms of challenges\, growth\, and philosophy\, including very different geographical perspectives that have played a large part in each country’s trajectory.

SUMMARY:Far East Deep South Broadcast
DESCRIPTION:Far East Deep South broadcasts on the WORLD Channel documentary series America ReFramed on Tuesday\, September 14th\, 2021\, 8:00 p.m. EDT (check local listings). It will also be available to stream on WORLDchannel.org\, PBS.org and the PBS Video app beginning at time of broadcast on September 14 through October 14. \nIn a nation that is in need of stories of hope\, Far East Deep South is a deeply moving documentary that offers a poignant perspective on race relations\, immigration and the deep roots of Chinese Americans in our national identity. The award-winning documentary follows Charles Chiu and his family (including his son\, producer Baldwin Chiu\, and daughter-in-law\, director Larissa Lam) as they travel from California to Mississippi to find answers about Charles’ father\, K.C. Lou. A retired Air Force reservist\, Charles was left behind in China as a baby and is reluctant to discuss his family’s complicated past with his sons\, Baldwin and Edwin. The family’s emotional journey to a place they’ve never seen leads to stunning revelations and a crash course on the surprising history of Chinese immigrants in the segregated South. Through encounters with local residents who remember K.C.\, as well as interviews with historians\, the family’s trip becomes a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for discovery and healing. \nView full press release here. \nWatch USHCA’s panel discussion with the filmmakers\, as well as members of the Black China caucus as the discuss some of the lessons we can learn from the film and how we can use these lessons today.

SUMMARY:The End of Globalization?
DESCRIPTION:Our Oct. 7 Great Decisions Lecture Series will ask the question if we are at the end of globalization. With David Dollar of Brookings. \nAbout this event\nA recent survey of nearly 20\,000 people in 25 countries reveals mixed enthusiasm for international trade and the globalization of goods and services\, with slightly less than half of those surveyed agreeing that globalization is a net-positive for their country. \nWith an uptick in protectionist trade rhetoric and reconsideration of globally integrated networks of goods and services\, what do the trends and forecasts indicate about the future of globalization? Is globalization really at an end\, or is it in need of a refresh? \nDavid Dollar\, noted economist and senior fellow in the John L. Thornton China Center at the Brookings Institution\, will offer his insights in this virtual discussion jointly presented by the US Heartland China Association and the International Relations Council. \n  \nRegister Today.\nOctober 7th\, 2021\n6:30 – 7:30 p.m. CT
