SUMMARY:2023 U.S.-China Educational Exchange Convening
DESCRIPTION:U.S.-China Educational Exchanges have brought tremendous benefits to both countries in the past four decades. But\, growing geopolitical tensions have upended traditional models of exchange in many ways. College and university leaders\, who have played a fundamentally important role in developing positive relationships between these two nations for decades\, are especially aware of the importance of positive communications\, productive dialogues\, and continued educational exchanges between the world’s two largest economies for their communities\, institutions\, faculties\, and students. \nUSHCA’s annual convening of education leaders allows for candid discussion among peers regarding the challenges and opportunities of U.S.-China Educational Exchanges. 2023’s convening will be hosted by Eastern Michigan University (Ypsilanti\, Michigan) on August 10 & 11\, 2023. The event will bring together education leaders and decision makers from both countries to explore the next chapter of U.S.-China Educational Exchanges. \nThis is an invitation-only event. To inquire about participating\, please contact Katherine Newton at katherine.newton@usheartlandchina.org or call 346.622.3829.

SUMMARY:De-Risk of the U.S.-China Relationship
DESCRIPTION:Beginning in the early 1990’s\, the US Government actively encouraged the development and growth of a relationship with China. These policies were supported by the interests of both American businesses and academics.  In addition to direct economic interest\, that relationship was driven by the expectation that robust economic ties would lead to “convergence” of the two economies through intensive economic and cultural engagement. \nIn recent years\, the two nations have not become much alike and today confront growing tensions in their relationship. These tensions have reached a sufficient level for policymakers and government officials to argue in favor of “de-risk” or the termination of the mutually beneficial economic relationship to contain China’s growth particularly in high tech regime and global leadership. Advocates for de-risk have become increasingly vocal and enjoy great support in the US Congress and Administration. \nThe US now faces a major policy challenge to surrender to pressure to end or limit the US-China economic relationship or to continue along the current path to continue to secure the substantial economic benefits and\, possibly\, mitigate future conflict through continued shared interest. \nWe have three speakers who will discuss various issues related to the possible de-risk of the US- China relationship as the two nations enter a period of intense competition. \n\nEd Monser\, a business practitioner\, will talk about business impact of the de-risk of the US-China relationship.\nJoel Glassman\, a retired international education administrator and political scientist who specializes in US-China relations\, will speak about the foreign policy and national security challenges confronting China and the US.\nHung-Gay Fung will talk about implications of the trade and investment policies in recent years that give rise to triggering the de-risk of the US-China relationship.

SUMMARY:The Tyranny of Merit: A Discussion with Michael Sandel
DESCRIPTION:Elite universities are often seen as meritocratic institutions that enable students to rise as far as their effort and talents will take them. Is this the case\, or does the intense competition for admission reproduce privilege?  If everyone had a truly equal chance to compete\, would the winners deserve their admission?  Should success in life depend on attending an elite college or university? Is meritocracy a remedy for inequality or a justification of it? \nOn August 23rd\, USHCA’s student-led forum will return to discuss these questions raised by Michael Sandel\, renowned Harvard professor\, in his book The Tyranny of Merit: Can We Find the Common Good?
