The thirteenth annual CHINA Town Hall will take place on Monday, November 18, at 6:00 p.m. EST. Richard's Auditorium, Murkland Hall.
Today’s political climate warrants community discussions on the Sino-American relationship and the issues that are having an impact on us, our businesses, our educational institutions, our communities, our states, and our country.
This year we'll shift the national webcast from a headline speaker to a conversation-style format. George Stephanopoulos will moderate this year’s webcast discussion; he will be joined by National Committee on U.S.-China Relations President Stephen Orlins, Melanie Hart, and Yasheng Huang.
Following the national webcast, we will be hosting a town hall-style discussions, with the goal of encouraging community members to talk candidly about their attitudes, concerns, and feelings surrounding the bilateral relationship. Prof. Chris Reardon will facilitate the discussions.
