U of A's Asian Studies Program Hosts Webcast of the 2019 China Town Hall, Nov. 18

The Asian Studies Program in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences will broadcast the webcast of the 13th annual China Town Hall on Nov. 18 and host a discussion to follow. The free public event will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 18, in Old Main 201, Giffels Auditorium. 

Each year, the China Town Hall provides Americans with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of the opportunities and challenges in current U.S.-China relations. This year's event features a national webcast sponsored by the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, followed by a local town hall-style discussion.

George Stephanopoulos will moderate the webcast discussion, which will be shared at 80 venues across the U.S. and China. He will be joined by Stephen Orlins, president of the national committee; Yasheng Huang, professional at MIT Sloan School of Management; Melanie Hart, China policy director at the Center for American Progress; and Ely Ratner, executive vice president and director of studies at the Center for a New American Security.
