Drawing upon years of experience engaging Chinese political, economic, and commercial policymakers, former Secretary of the Treasury Hank Paulson brings an unparalleled depth of perspective and insight to the US-China bilateral relationship. How will this relationship unfold in 2013 and beyond? Will a new consensus emerge focused on engagement and cooperation, or discord and hostility? Plan now to attend this vibrant evening.

Event Details
During the presidential campaign season, China and how the US should engage it emerged as a central issue. For years, there was an implicit understanding: China's inexpensive exports help finance the American consumer and economy, and the US enables China's peaceful rise. That consensus and dynamic are now evolving as China's economic, geopolitical, and military power expands in the face of American financial and economic discord.
