As part of the Jones Day China Lecture Series, join Brookings Institution economist David Dollar and political scientists and National Committee board members Cheng Liand Kenneth Lieberthal for a discussion on the coming Strategic and Economic Dialogue to be held in Washington June 22-23. What issues are likely to be discussed? What “deliverables” might be expected? What will the Dialogue tell us about the bi-lateral meetings to be held by Presidents Barack Obama and Xi Jinping in September?
| These China experts will honor the life and work of Herbert Hansell (1925-2015), a stalwart supporter of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations as a member of the Board of Directors for more than 20 years and Treasurer for nine of those years; he spent more than five decades working at Jones Day in Cleveland and in Washington, D.C. He also served as Legal Adviser to the U.S. Secretary of State from 1977-1979 when, among other key accomplishments, he was deeply involved in the negotiations that led to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China. |
