Last week, Executive Orders banning transactions with ByteDance and Tencent in 45 days have left the future of Tiktok and WeChat in the United States in question. This urgent discussion will focus on the reasons for the Executive Orders and the potential outcomes. What do they mean for U.S.-China technology decoupling and two-way venture capital investing? What are the implications for U.S.-China relations?
Join the National Committee on August 13 at 4:00 p.m. EDT for a virtual program with cybersecurity expert Ms. Melissa Hathaway and tech investor Mr. Gary Rieschel.

What is the role of diplomacy in American foreign policy? How does “soft power” fit in? Until recently, people-to-people diplomacy between the United States and China was quite vigorous, with students and others traveling back and forth in large numbers, smaller but very active Peace Corps and Fulbright programs, and much cultural exchange. There were, however, tensions in recent years, and 2020 may be a turning point.
Join the National Committee on August 17 at 4:00 p.m. EDT for a virtual program with retired American diplomats Ms. Susan Thornton and Ms. Beatrice Camp as they discuss the place of diplomacy in U.S. policy toward China and beyond.

China faces major demographic, economic, social, political, and foreign policy challenges. The experts whose analyses make up Fateful Decisions examine the choices facing China’s leaders. President Xi Jinping has laid out ambitious goals with little in the way of detailed policy to explain how they will be achieved. As China’s economy slows and population ages, the demand for and costs of health care, elder care, education, and other social benefits are increasing. At the same time, global ambitions and an increasingly assertive military compete for funding and attention. The contributors to the volume examine what is at stake, possible options, and potential outcomes.
Join the National Committee on August 20 at 4:00 p.m. EDT for a virtual program with Dr. Thomas Fingar and Dr. Jean Oi as they discusses their edited volume, Fateful Decisions: Choices that Will Shape China’s Future.
