Seattle University and the University of Washington will join audiences across the country for the program, which will launch a week of events on the most critical topics facing both countries and the global community in the 21st century. These programs will feature leading experts, and at select venues will include in-depth discussions on aspects of the U.S.-China relationship of interest to the local community. This unique series will provide access to experts and opportunities for insightful discussion on how America will navigate relations with China in an increasingly complex global context.
The two-part event, sponsored by the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, Seattle University, and the University of Washington will feature an interactive webcast discussion and Q&A with Ray Dalio about the key issues, risks, and opportunities in the Sino-American relationship.
Frictions between the United States and China in politics, security, and trade have a direct impact on the lives of every American.
