On Monday, March 23 at 10:00 a.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s Global China Hub will host a conversation with Chairman and Co-Founder of The Asia Group and former Deputy Secretary of State, Kurt M. Campbell.
President Trump is expected to visit Beijing from March 31 to April 2. While US-China ties appeared to have stabilized after last October’s trade truce, important disputes have been left unresolved, and conflict in Iran is injecting new uncertainty into the bilateral relationship. Much is at stake, and the current détente could easily unravel.
In this conversation, Campbell will share his insights on what goes into preparing for a US-China leadership summit, how each side calibrates expectations, and what this visit could mean for the trajectory of US-China relations.
New policy: In-person attendees will be required to show photo ID upon arrival, and no on-site registration will be permitted. Guests will not be admitted later than twenty minutes after the event’s start time.
