The decoupling of the U.S. and Chinese economies is one of the headline risks in U.S.-China relations today. Many in the Trump administration have actively pursued an agenda to bring U.S. manufacturing back home. At the same time, they have sought to separate technology supply chains linking the United States and China. Yet, this process is far from simple and is encumbered by politics and economic realities on both sides of the Pacific.
The Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues and Asian Studies Program at Georgetown University are bringing together top international economists and business leaders to address these issues.
