The USC U.S.-China Institute will host its 10th anniversary conference on September 29, 2016 at the USC Radisson Hotel.

Given the importance and complexity of U.S.-China relations, it is not surprising that American policy toward China has become a larger political issue. On Thursday, September 29, we invite you to join us for our daylong conference on the role of China in American politics and whether or not policies toward China have changed or should change. Speakers will include prominent policymakers, public intellectuals, and scholars. They will examine the positions and actions of interest groups, the concerns and impact of allies, and the role of China and topic specialists. We will ask about perceptions of China and the U.S.-China relationship and the realities of that relationship.

Topics will include:

• economic ties, including trade, investment, market access, and participation in international economic institutions
• environmental worries, including technology, targets, and monitoring
• security challenges, including regional tensions, weapons proliferation, and alliances
• politics and law, including how we talk about and to each other about civil liberties and legal procedures
• the roles of businesses, business groups, civic organizations, research institutions, and varying levels of government in U.S.-China politics and the making of policies

This conference celebrates the tenth anniversary of the tenth anniversary of the creation of the USC U.S.-China Institute by USC President C.L. “Max” Nikias.
