Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues

The U.S.-China Research Group on E-Commerce and Mobile Technology was a team of leading experts that met for dialogue around key academic and policy issues including artificial intelligence, technology and national security, and global governance.

From 2018 to 2019, Abraham Newman of Georgetown University, Henry Farrell of George Washington University, and Xue Lan of Tsinghua University convened the U.S.-China Research Group on E-Commerce and Mobile Technology. The group met three times in Washington, DC, and Beijing to address the politics of innovation in an interdependent world, with a focus on e-commerce and mobile technology. Group participants produced an initial background report, authored research papers, and participated in a public panel at the Brookings Institution to share the results of their research with the wider Washington community.
