About this event

Thank you for your interest. The event has ended. Please come back for more events in the future.

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.

  • Are these current tensions and present environment a “new normal”?
  •  What about the status of the trade agreement? Phase I? Phase 2? 
  • What are the new challenges and opportunities now faced by Chinese companies who want to operate in the US?  US companies operating in China? 
  • Are the problems mainly attributable to the interplay of US domestic policies and concerns about strategic competition between the two countries? 
  • Is there a path forward to return to a steadier state irrespective of the November US and Congressional elections?
