On Wednesday, May 18, Executive Director John Kamm will give a talk, US & China: A Complex and Critical Relationship, in Marin, California. The event is co-hosted by World Affairs Council, Marin Chapter and Dominican University of California. Kamm will speak on a broad range of issues in the US-China relationship, including trade and finance, the environment and climate change, national security and human rights. All told, American representatives conduct more than 60 dialogues, consultations and other exchanges with their Chinese counterparts each year. As China continues to hold more US debt than any other country, and our trade deficit with the country grows, its economic power looms as both a threat and an opportunity. US and Chinese leaders are now preparing for two major events in 2012: the transition from Party Secretary Hu Jintao to Xi Jinping, who will visit the US later this year; and our presidential election campaign, in which relations with China could well be an important issue. A reception and dinner will begin at 6:30 p.m., and the program will begin at 7:50 p.m. Tickets are available from the World Affairs Council website.
