Starting at the founding of the republic, with Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson, and concluding with Presidents Obama and Trump, Robert Zoellick tells the story of American diplomacy in his new book, America in the World: A History of U.S. Diplomacy and Foreign Policy.
Ambassador Zoellick identifies five traditions that offer a framework for understanding America’s role in the world: the North American base; trade, transnationalism, and technology; alliances and order; the need for public and Congressional support; and America’s greater purpose as a global player.
Join the National Committee on September 15 at 4:00 p.m. EDT for a virtual program with Ambassador Robert Zoellick in conversation with Financial Times editor and correspondent Lionel Barber. The event will be hosted by National Committee Vice Chair Evan Greenberg and President Steve Orlins.

Economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic and escalating political tensions pushed two-way investments between the United States and China to their lowest level in nearly a decade in the first half of 2020. Expanding U.S. scrutiny of Chinese companies, election politics, and uneven economic recovery trajectories will maintain high pressure on U.S.-China capital flows for the remainder of the year.
Join Two-Way Street report authors Thilo Hanemann and Adam Lysenko, both of Rhodium Group, and National Committee President Stephen Orlins on September 17 at 5:00 p.m. EDT for a mid-year review of the latest trends in U.S.-China investment and an analysis of the political dynamics and market developments behind them.

At a time when prominent voices in the U.S. foreign policy community – from both sides of the aisle – are calling upon the United States to take a new approach towards China, many are putting forward new ideas to define what a ‘new era’ would look like. An increasingly timely discussion has revolved around making more direct connections between gender equality and national security – a "Feminist Foreign Policy."
Join the National Committee on September 18 at 10:30 a.m. EDT for a virtual Congressional staff briefing with Stephenie Foster, Sarah Kemp, and Wenchi Yu, about feminist foreign policy and what its implementation could mean for the evolving U.S.-China relationship.

Dori Jones Yang was among the first American correspondents to cover China at the beginning of the reform era. Her memoir, When the Red Gates Opened, follows her rise from rookie reporter to experienced journalist. Her cross-cultural romance gave her deep insight into how Deng Xiaoping’s reforms led to hopes among the Chinese people for a better life. The sense of possibility reached its peak in spring 1989, when peaceful protesters filled Tiananmen Square, demanding democracy, among other things. On the ground in Beijing, Ms. Yang shared that hope, as well as the despair that followed. After Tiananmen, she returned to the United States, continuing to watch China closely.
Join the National Committee on September 23 at 4:00 p.m. EDT for a virtual program with author Dori Jones Yang.

How has China grown so fast for so long despite extensive corruption? In China's Gilded Age, Yuen Yuen Ang argues that although all corruption is harmful, it does not always hurt economic growth. Different forms of corruption have disparate effects; certain types may actually stimulate investment and development while simultaneously posing serious risks for economic and political systems. Dr. Ang explains the evolution of Chinese corruption, how it differs from that of other countries, and how President Xi Jinping's anti-corruption campaign could affect growth and governance.
Join the National Committee on September 30 at 4:00 p.m. EDT for a virtual program with Professor Yuen Yuen Ang.
