China's period of rapid industrialization generated unsustainable waste and posed significant threats to humans, wildlife, and the environment. A handful of dedicated environmental activists in China pushed for policy change, leveraging technological and educational collaboration between American and Chinese scientists and preexisting U.S. regulatory approaches to manage China's pollution problem. However, China's approach to environmental regulation ultimately took a different path to accommodate its ongoing development process. Despite their differences, the two countries play critical roles in the global effort to develop environmental solutions. In Ma Tianjie's new book In Search of Green China, he recounts how public outrage pushed China towards an environmental awakening, inspiring policies that prioritized environmental protection without giving up economic development. What role will China play in the global environmental movement as it pursues its green transition? Ma Tianjie joins the National Committee on June 19, 2025 to describe the stunning story behind China's environmental awakening. Learn more about the speaker and watch the YouTube video here

NPR correspondent Emily Feng tells the stories of nearly two dozen people in China who define for themselves what it means to be Chinese. She profiles a Uyghur family; human rights lawyers fighting to defend civil liberties despite the dangers; a teacher from Inner Mongolia forced to make hard choices because of his support of his native language; and a Hong Kong fugitive trying to find a new home and live in freedom. In Let Only Red Flowers Bloom, she reveals dramatic stories of resistance and survival in a country that is increasingly closing itself off to the world. To understand modern China, one has to understand the people who live there and how they interact with the Chinese state. In an interview conducted on April 9, 2025, Emily Feng reflects on identity in China: what does it mean to be Chinese? About the speaker

At a time of heightened tension and strategic recalibration, the U.S.-China relationship is undergoing significant change as the Trump Administration announces high tariffs on Chinese goods and trade and investment restrictions while also signaling that President Trump may be open to negotiations. Sino-American competition is intensifying across economic, political, and technological realms, and opportunities for collaboration to tackle global issues such as AI governance, climate change, and public health remain elusive. From debates over trade and industrial policy to diverging visions of the global order, the world's two largest powers are navigating a period of profound uncertainty. Alison Friedman, Andrew Polk, and Jessica Chen Weiss joined NCUSCR President Stephen Orlins on May 20 for the National Committee's annual Members' Program, where they discussed the state of the U.S.-China relationship from cultural, economic and trade, and political perspectives. About the speakers
Soft power is not just about movies and television shows, but the ability to attract people to one's country through cultural influence and persuasion. Tourists and international students traveling to China interact with the people and culture, influencing their worldview along the way. How effective is China's soft power on a collective and individual level and what is the impact of China's soft power on the rest of the world? Irene Wu joins the National Committee on May 8, 2025 to discuss soft power and how countries like China use it. Click here to learn more about the speakers.
With the fifth anniversary of the last big Hong Kong marches behind us and the first anniversary of the National Security Law's imposition on the horizon, Jeffrey Wasserstrom and Emily Feng assess the city's recent past and significantly changed realities. What is the legacy of the protest surge of 2019? What is most and least surprising about how Hong Kong has been transformed in this decade? How can we place the Hong Kong story into national narratives about the way the PRC has been moving under Xi Jinping? How can we connect the Hong Kong events to trends in other parts of Asia and beyond? In an interview conducted on April 9, 2025, Jeffrey Wasserstrom and Emily Feng, in conversation with Sewell Chan, discuss the implications of developments in Hong Kong over the last ten years for HK-mainland relations, Sino-American relations, and trends in the region. About the speakers
With U.S.-China tariff levels reaching historic highs and a fragile truce now in place, economic experts examine how the trade relationship has shifted in 2025—and where it might be headed next. What are the strategic goals behind the sweeping tariff measures imposed by both sides? How are they reshaping trade flows, business decisions, and bilateral diplomacy? What lessons can we draw from the past seven years of trade tensions, and how do current developments fit into broader patterns of economic decoupling and strategic competition? In an interview conducted on May 13, 2025, Claire Reade and Andrew Greenland join PIP fellow Spencer Cohen to explore the implications of recent tariff developments for U.S.-China trade, domestic political pressures, and the global economic order.

CHINA Town Hall (CTH), a program that provides a snapshot of the current U.S.-China relationship and examines how that relationship reverberates at the local level – in our towns, states, and nation – connects people around the country with U.S. policymakers and thought leaders on China. The 2025 CHINA Town Hall program took place on Thursday, April 24, at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT, and discussed President Trump's China policy 100 days in. Featured speakers included Ryan Hass, Director of the John L. Thornton China Center at the Brookings Institution; Matthew Turpin, Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution; and Lingling Wei, Chief China Correspondent at The Wall Street Journal. Since CTH launched in 2007, the National Committee has proudly partnered with a range of institutions and civic groups, colleges and universities, trade and business associations, world affairs councils, and think tanks to convene town halls and bring this important national conversation to local communities around America (and a few overseas).

China remains one of the largest capital exporters in the world, yet there is generally a lack of reliable information on the consequences of Chinese overseas projects. These projects range into the billions and can be transformative for local economies, especially for emerging technologies, large-scale infrastructure, and sustainable energy projects. However, regulations for Chinese outbound investment can be immature and Chinese firms sometimes resort to shortcuts, violating laws of the host state. Particular areas of concern are labor violations and degradation of local environments. From building electrical transmission lines that power Brazil to mining bauxite in Guinea to produce aluminum, Chinese overseas projects affect the economy, local communities, and environment in many ways. How can the stories of these projects shed light on the good and bad practices of Chinese outbound investment?

Efforts to normalize relations between India and China signal a potential shift in one of Asia's most complex rivalries. As both countries navigate de-escalation efforts while advancing competing strategic interests and structural issues remain, we will examine the geopolitical calculus behind the apparent thaw and its implications for regional security. How will these developments shape India's engagement with China, the Quad, and the broader Indo-Pacific balance? At this critical juncture, on March 18, 2025, Mark Frazier sat down with Manjari Chatterjee Miller and Liu Zongyi to evaluate the strategic dimensions of this evolving relationship. They discussed its potential effects on regional security, the power equilibrium in the Indo-Pacific, and the roles of important mini-lateral groupings like BRICS and the Quad. About the speakers

The development of Intelligent Connected Vehicles (ICVs) and Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) represents a pivotal technological and economic frontier. China and the United States are vying for supremacy in this sector which could define global leadership in the next few decades. As these technologies advance, they carry concerns for road safety, personal data protection, and ethics. Differing regulatory environments, cybersecurity issues, and technology decoupling efforts create divergent innovation priorities and processes between the two countries. On March 6, 2025, Rui Ma and Lei Xing joined Peilei Fan to explore the state of ICV/AV technologies in both the United States and China, as well as areas of competition and potential collaboration.

In 2020, China implemented the National Security Law (NSL) in Hong Kong, making a wide range of political activities illegal and further reducing the city's autonomy. Last November, a court sentenced 45 pro-democracy figures to four to ten years in prison in the largest trial since the NSL was adopted. Political and legal changes have continued in Hong Kong, reshaping the Legislative Council and the way cases deemed a matter of “national security” are decided. What does the current situation in Hong Kong mean for the future of civil liberties and human rights in the city? What are the broader implications for Hong Kong's future as a global financial center and intellectual hub? How do events in Hong Kong affect U.S.-China relations? In an interview recorded on February 28, 2025, Carole Petersen and Ho-Fung Hung, in conversation with Thomas Kellogg, discuss the ongoing changes in Hong Kong.

The decline in U.S.-China people-to-people exchange opportunities between the United States and China is widening the gap of cross-cultural understanding, leaving room for misconceptions in spite of many shared concerns and aspirations.

In 2016, an international arbitral tribunal sided with the Philippines in a case against China's claims in the South China Sea. However, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who sought to bring the Philippines' foreign policy closer to China, said the ruling was just “paper” fit for the waste bin. After Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. became the president in 2022, Philippine foreign policy shifted back towards strengthening its alliance with the United States. How does the Philippines manage its economic and security relationships with China, the United States, and other Southeast Asian nations? Marites Vitug (Rappler), co-author of Unrequited Love: Duterte's Embrace of China, joins the National Committee in an interview recorded on March 3, 2025 to discuss foreign policy towards China, the United States, and ASEAN.

On February 21, 2025, the President of the United States issued a memorandum to members of his cabinet and other executive agency directors describing the administration's investment policy. The statement begins by stating that investment policy is key to the country's national and economic security. While investment by “allies and partners” can create jobs and wealth for the United States, investment by “foreign adversaries,” including China, is not in the national interest. The United States will establish new rules to prevent American companies and investors from investing in certain Chinese industries and will use all available legal tools to restrict PRC-affiliated individuals from investing in strategic sectors in the United States. The memorandum raises many questions, among them: what might change as a result? What specific restrictions are likely to be imposed on inbound and outbound investment? In an interview conducted on February 28, 2025, Nicholas Borst, in conversation with Steve Orlins, discusses the implications of the policy for U.S.-China economic and trade relations.

China's internet is famously walled off from the global web. Despite barriers including censorship and moderation practices, a unique Chinese digital ecosystem has flourished—and unexpectedly, attracted Americans. The recent temporary exodus of TikTok users to RedNote presented a rare opportunity for American and Chinese peoples to digitally interact on a large scale, sharing views and opinions on the Chinese internet's own turf. Why is China's internet so different from the global internet and in what ways can it be a bridge, or barrier, for online exchange? Yaling Jiang joins the National Committee in an interview recorded on February 9, 2025 to introduce China's internet, its evolution, and forms of censorship that exist within it.

On January 10, 2025, DeepSeek, a Hangzhou-based artificial intelligence (AI) platform founded in 2023, released its first free chatbot app, which is said to match the capabilities of models from its U.S. counterparts, including OpenAI and Google, while using a fraction of their computing power. This milestone underscores China's rapid AI progress despite U.S. restrictions on advanced semiconductors, potentially narrowing the technological gap between the two countries and challenging U.S. dominance in the field. With AI being a key area in technological development and trade, understanding the dynamics of this race is more urgent than ever.

For decades, China's reform and opening-up era brought economic growth, political stability, and greater openness to both ideas and investment from the outside world. But in recent years, the country has shifted into what Professor Carl Minzner describes as an "age of counterreform." What defines this new era, and how are China's leadership and society adapting? In an interview recorded on November 21, 2024, Carl Minzner joins the National Committee to discuss the evolution of political norms, the future challenges China will face, and the return to centralized party control under Xi Jinping's leadership.

Over two billion people on the planet experienced food insecurity in 2023, including 18 million households in the United States. The actions of one country can affect the food security of others, and global issues such as climate change, military conflicts, and rising food prices can cause supply chain instabilities and shortages.

The Mekong River provides millions of people in and beyond Southeast Asia with food, water, and agricultural productivity. Twenty percent of the world's freshwater fish comes from the Mekong River, supplying the shelves of stores across the globe. However, the river system is threatened by climate change and upstream dams.

Although Chinese marriage law states that men and women are equal, implementation of the law in divorce cases reveals gender disparities. In divorce lawsuits, women are often left without remedies for domestic violence and mothers lose custody of their children. Rural women face the additional disadvantage of lacking resources to help them navigate the divorce process. How are gender disparities revealed when women seek divorce in China? Ke Li joins the National Committee in an interview recorded on November 21, 2024 to share her research into the processes and challenges rural women go through to obtain a divorce in China.
