July 1, 2007 - Present

The U.S.-Asia Update Roundtable Series is an ongoing series that provides a forum for the discussion of the major issues that shape Chinese domestic policies and that have an impact on the U.S. relationship with China and the rest of the region. The Roundtable cosponsors events with the Council’s General Meetings and Corporate programs. Recent sessions have included speakers such as Michael Green, Special Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs; Major General Karl Eikenberry; and Randall Schriver, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs. Approximately six sessions are held each program year.

This series is made possible through generous support from the Starr Foundation.

U.S.-Asia Update Roundtable Series

This meeting is presented by the Asia Studies Program and the Corporate Program.

In the wake of the global economic downturn, Washington and Beijing have scrambled to boost their domestic economies and pledged to strengthen bilateral cooperation. Yet the two countries face significant challenges both in getting their own economies in order and in setting the bilateral relationship on the right track. Please join us as Ambassador Frank Lavin, a veteran China hand and former U.S. trade negotiator who is now based in China, provides a fresh perspective on the realities of the Chinese stimulus package, the new Strategic and Economic Dialogue, and the future of the U.S.-China trade and economic relationship.
