The U.S.-China Business Council presents:

Geopolitical Risk Series: Understanding Risks Around Taiwan

Online Lecture 
July 26, 8:30 a.m. ET

As Taiwan has reemerged as one of the major strategic flashpoints in the US-China relationship, it has become more important than ever to understand why relations are so tense, what signals to watch for, and what could happen in the event of a crisis. 

Join us as we unpack two new pieces of research on the topic from Rhodium Group and the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Rhodium’s Agatha Kratz and Charlie Vest, and Atlantic Council’s Josh Lipsky will discuss the effectiveness and spillover effects of potential G7 sanctions on China in the case of a Taiwan crisis, drawing on their latest report, Sanctioning China in a Taiwan Crisis: Scenarios and Risks. CFR’s David Sacks will unpack key questions surrounding Taiwan in US-China relations and discuss CFR’s new task force report on Taiwan, U.S.-Taiwan Relations in a New Era: Responding to a More Assertive China. The program will equip members to plan for and interpret the evolving risks surrounding Taiwan in US-China relations. 

This event is part of USCBC’s Navigating Geopolitical Risks in a Changing World Order series to help member companies navigate escalating geopolitical risks and evolving dynamics in the US-China relationship that are relevant to their businesses in the United States, China, and globally. USCBC wants to ensure member companies are aware of these trends and possess the tools and information needed to develop strategies to manage the business and reputational risks involved.

This event is for USCBC member companies only. Registration is required. Please register using your work email so that we don’t mistakenly decline you. The deadline to register for this program is Tuesday, July 25 at 2 pm ET.

Brookings Institute presents: 

U.S.-China proximate military operations in the maritime, air, and space domains

Washington D.C., and free online webinar 

July 26, 10:00 a.m. – 11:15 a.m. ET

In recent years, the People’s Liberation Army has grown more capable, assertive, and willing to take risks, leading to a notable rise in the frequency, complexity, and significance of U.S.-China military encounters in the maritime, air, and space domains. As the United States and China continue to assert their national interests and regional and global ambitions, the proximity of their operations in these domains remains a considerable challenge. Amid heightened geopolitical tensions, the potential for misunderstanding, miscalculation, and escalation makes managing diplomatic relations with Beijing ever more crucial.

On July 26, join the Strobe Talbott Center for Security, Strategy, and Technology at Brookings for a conversation with policy experts about the delicate balance between the two powers in these domains and the regional and wider strategic implications of their proximate operations.

Online viewers can submit questions via e-mail to events@brookings.edu or via Twitter @BrookingsFP using #USChina.

The U.S Heartland China Association presents: 

Decoupling of the U.S.-China Relationship?

Free Zoom webinar 

August 15, 7:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. ET

Beginning in the early 1990s, the U.S. government actively encouraged the development and growth of a relationship with China. These policies were supported by the interests of both American businesses and academics. In addition to direct economic interest, that relationship was driven by the expectation that robust economic ties would lead to “convergence” of the two economies through intensive economic and cultural engagement. 

In recent years, the two nations have not become much alike and today confront growing tensions in their relationship. These tensions have reached a sufficient level for policymakers and government officials to argue in favor of “de-risk” or the termination of the mutually beneficial economic relationship to contain China’s growth particularly in high-tech regime and global leadership. Advocates for de-risk have become increasingly vocal and enjoy great support in the U.S. Congress and administration. The U.S. now faces a major policy challenge to surrender to pressure to end or limit the U.S.-China economic relationship or to continue along the current path to secure the substantial economic benefits and, possibly, mitigate future conflict through continued shared interest.

Our three speakers Ed Monser, Joel Glassman, and Hung-Gay Fung will discuss various issues related to the possible decoupling of the U.S.-China relationship as the two nations enter a period of intense competition.
