Frictions between the United States and China in politics, security, and trade have a direct impact on the lives of every American. To encourage a wider discussion of how Americans are affected during these turbulent times, join renowned investor, philanthropist and New York Times best-selling author Ray Dalio for a special CHINA Town Hall conversation about the key issues, risks, and opportunities in the Sino-American relationship, on November 10, 2020, presented by the National Committee on U.S.- China Relations.
Southwest Virginia Community College will join audiences across the country for the program, which will launch a week of events on the most critical topics facing both countries and the global community in the 21st century. These programs will feature leading experts, and at select venues will include in-depth discussions on aspects of the U.S.-China relationship of interest to the local community.
