The Event

The US-China relationship is arguably the most important one for the world. The two “Big Nations” are both significant contributors to the world economy and political dynamics. 

George Chen, Yale World Fellow '14 and Managing Director for The Asia Group, has had a front row seat as a witness and stakeholder in the growing tensions around trade, technology, and other geopolitical issues between Washington and Beijing over the past few years during his time at Meta (previously known as Facebook). On November 16, George Chen will come to Yale Center Beijing to share his insights on "Understanding U.S.-China Relations in the Context of Tech and Digital Trade." During this presentation, George will use real-world case studies of tech companies like Meta, Amazon, and Google to demonstrate how they deal with China during periods of bumpy bilateral relations, and why he believes the U.S. and China still see strong economic value in working together.
