Upcoming | China and the US: Opportunities and Challenges in the 21st Century
In the past few years, relations between China and the United States have deteriorated across various dimensions. A positive adjustment is urgently from both sides to mitigate bilateral tensions. High-level official virtual meetings between China and the US in late 2021 were considered a relatively positive signal. However, the future of the great powers is still uncertain. How will China-US relations influence the world? In what fields could China and the US develop cooperation? What is the trend of globalization? Dr. Henry Huiyao Wang, founder and president of the Center for China and Globalization (CCG), a leading Chinese think-tank, is invited by China and the World Forum held by World Scientific to share his views about the present and future of relations between the two great powers.
