San Diego Global Forum: Friction Points in U.S.-China Relations
University of California, San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy hosts the 2015 San Diego Global Forum.
Where
With new leadership, U.S.-China relations are at a critical juncture. From military ties to the business environment for U.S. companies operating in China, many are concerned that the status quo has now changed for the worse. To make sense of where the U.S.-China relationship is heading – and why that matters for our region’s competitiveness – a panel of world-renowned experts from the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy will explain the causes for worsening relations and suggest ways that the two sides can overcome these frictions.
The San Diego Global Forum is a collaboration between the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy, San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation Go Global San Diego and the San Diego Public Library. It seeks to connect the San Diego community to key thought leaders and conversations across the globe. Through open dialogue, the series uncovers how San Diego is engaged in shaping solutions for a transforming and inter-connected world.
