Why attend?
In the coming years, China is expected to overtake the United States as the world’s largest economy. Currently, they are the United States’ third-largest trading partner — after Canada and Mexico, respectively — with total trade amounting to over $650 billion in 2021 according to data from the International Trade Administration.
The China Challege Summit convenes a high-profile group of leaders from across the nation and world — including you and your colleagues — to yield quality thought-leadership around three themes:
- China’s economic, trade, business, and foreign policies.
- China’s geopolitical strategy and U.S. foreign policy towards China.
- How U.S. businesses and policymakers should respond to these challenges.
Attendees (in-person and virtual) will have the opportunity to learn from and engage with a unique group of China specialists on today’s most salient diplomatic and industrial challenges.
