Where is U.S.-China Relationship Headed Amidst the War in Ukraine?
In-person, Member-only Briefing
Thursday, April 28, 2022 | 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM ET
The relationship between the United States and China has been shaky since President Trump and has not been “reset”, as several expected, under President Biden. Now, it is once again tested during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The Biden administration warned China that there will be consequences if China backs Russia. How does the war affect U.S.-China relations? Where is China’s position in this war? Where is the triangle of U.S.-China-Russia relations headed next? We hope to get the answers to these questions from our honorable guest speaker, Mr. Stephen Orlins, President of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations.
Join us for an in-person member-only event with Mr. Stephen Orlins, President of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations on Thursday, April 28, 2022, from 6.00 – 7:30 PM ET in a conversation on the future of U.S.-China relations.
