Few bilateral relationships carry more consequence for the global order than that between the United States and China. As Presidents Trump and Xi convene for a high-stakes summit, questions about trade policy, technology competition, and long-term strategic rivalry take on renewed urgency — and the outcomes, or lack thereof, will shape the landscape for months to come.
The National Committee brings together three leading China experts — Dr. Kyle Chan, Dr. Elizabeth Economy, and Dr. Zongyuan Zoe Liu — alongside NCUSCR President Stephen Orlins to assess what the summit reveals about the trajectory of U.S.-China relations. Join us on May 18 at 4:45 p.m. for Trade Wars, Tech Rivalries, and the Long Game in U.S.-China Relations.
