On October 19, 2021, dozens of communities participated in a national conversation on how the U.S.-China relationship affects our cities, towns, and communities, hosted by the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations.

Prior to the nationwide virtual event with Fareed Zakaria, Dennis Wilder, managing director of the Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues hosted Daniel B. Wright, a long time China expert in a robust, practical conversation about the challenges and opportunities in the bilateral relationship. Given the realities of diplomatic tension in the U.S.-China relationship, plummeting public opinion in each country towards the other, and significant domestic challenges in both the United States and China, is the U.S.-China relationship destined for an unfortunate and inescapable outcome?

This event was sponsored by the Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues.
