Join former US Ambassador to China, Russia, and Singapore Jon M. Huntsman Jr. for the National Committee on US-China Relations “China Town Hall 2022,” a nationwide virtual conversation, including Q&A. From supply chains to national security, new technologies to climate change, the future of the United States and China will be determined by their relations with one another and the global community. As one of few Americans to personally know Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, Ambassador Huntsman will discuss the ways America can cooperate and compete with China, as both countries confront the most critical issues of the 21st century.

Before the webinar, join us for a talk and discussion with Jean-Pierre Cabestan on War or Peace with China: Risks of Conflict over Taiwan
