The relationship of China and the U.S. has been changing rapidly for many years now as the economic, political and military dynamics have changed and the government policies of both countries have evolved. The future trajectories of these two countries and their relationship with each other will be closely watched and will likely be one of the most important dynamics in the future in terms of global trends.

Where is China headed economically and politically? Similarly, what can one expect in the U.S. along the same lines? With the change in the U.S. President, what can we expect in terms of the policies of the Biden administration and how will they compare to the Trump administration policies? What reaction can we expect from the Chinese? How does China view the U.S. today along the dimensions of a competing global economic, political and military power? What are the implications for U.S. companies whose businesses are in anyway impacted by the China and U.S. intersection?

Societe is pleased to feature a panel made up of Anla Cheng, CEO of SupChina and Serica Initiative and Jeremy Goldkorn, Editor in Chief of SupChina, who will share their perspectives on these questions. There will be a panel discussion and fireside chat, followed by questions from the audience.
