Join us for this special webinar, featuring Dean Xiang Bing of CKGSB, and Ambassador Craig Allen of US-China Business Council.
US-China Trade and Business Relations are a key focal point as the world works towards an economic recovery post COVID19. The trade and investment frictions that have appeared so prominently in 2020 have of course been exacerbated by the coronavirus. Our discussants will seek to answer the most pressing questions facing business in both countries.
