Is China a fundamental threat to the U.S. or an opportunity for us to develop an enduring partnership that will be the keystone of global stability and prosperity in this century? Judging from the largely negative press on the issue, one may be led to think of China as more of a problem to deal with and contain than a reservoir of knowledge and lessons to draw from. Instead of closing up in fear, Professor Ann Lee, the author of the acclaimed book “What the U.S. Can Learn From China,” argues that the U.S. can use China’s enduring principles to foster much-needed change at home that will allow us not only to withstand the competition but thrive in the 21st century. With her typical wit and sensibility, Professor Lee will offer us insights into the factors behind China’s phenomenal growth. She will approach this question from a multitude of angles including politics, economics, finance, education, and foreign policy for an exhaustive investigation into the phenomenon.
This is a rare chance for you to meet the influential scholar and thinker on the subject and have your copy of the book signed by the author herself. What you will learn at the presentation may surprise you and make you see the most important bilateral relationship in the world today in an entirely different light.
