Monday, May 19, 2008 - Recent disruptions in the U.S. economy effectively illustrate some of the ways in which the American and Chinese economies have become inextricably intertwined – and the challenges and opportunities this relationship presents to the two countries’ governments. Problems in the U.S financial sector and broader economy raise new issues for China’s economic planners and private businessmen and women. At the same time, the price of U.S. financial and other assets presents new investment opportunities for China Investment Corporation, the country’s sovereign wealth fund, and other Chinese corporations. Further complication is added because this is a U.S. election year, during which trade, employment and economic nationalism play a greater role in the political discourse.
At our 2008 Annual Members Program, three leading specialists – Nicholas Lardy, David Malpass and Henny Sender – helped us understand these issues. The panel examined the relationship among the U.S., Chinese and global economies and its implications for the broader Sino-American relationship.
The Annual Members Business Meeting (open to Members only) preceded this panel program.

Through Experienced Eyes: A Discussion on Current Issues in U.S.-China Relations
The 2007 National Committee’s Annual Members Program, Through Experienced Eyes: A Discussion on Current Issues in U.S.-China Relations, surveyed current issues in U.S.-China relations from the perspective of four former Assistant Secretaries of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs: William Clark, Richard Holbrooke, Stanley Roth and Richard Solomon. The discussion focused on where American and Chinese interests converge and diverge, the challenges of formulating and implementing China policy in the politically charged Washington environment, and how relations with China fit into the broader framework of American policy toward Asia.
