Join the World Affairs Council and James McGregor for an engaging conversation assessing U.S. and China relations in the 2020 election year with topics from trade to technology.
The last several decades have seen a vast expansion of both cooperation and competition between the United States and China, from trade and investment to technology and innovation. As a result, today we face a new world in which economic and geopolitical grievances and the incompatible political ideologies of these two countries have come to the fore, manifest most starkly in the ongoing trade war. With China slipping back into “market-Leninism” and the United States rapidly rejecting globalization and established trade protocols, the relationship enters a particularly strained phase that coincides with a U.S. presidential election and significant domestic political polarization. We’ll take stock and explore how both countries can navigate this challenging operating landscape and what it means for U.S. business interests and political priorities.
