American and Chinese economies and societies have never been as closely joined as they are today. Yet, major differences between the two countries dominate the headlines and polls show that people in the two countries have less respect for and trust in the other country. In short, we have more contact and less trust. How do we reverse this trend of increasing popular fear and distrust? A new report released by the University of Southern California and Peking University, Building U.S.-China Trust Through Next Generation People, Platforms, and Programs offers new ideas and concrete recommendations on how to build trust and improve U.S.-China relations. We hope you can join us for this timely discussion.
An open reception will follow from 5pm to 7pm.
