As the top U.S. state exporter to China, Washington—along with neighboring Oregon (second) and California (fifth)—has an enormous stake in U.S.–China relations. From wheat to apples and Microsoft to Boeing, industry and enterprise across the state and nationwide are directly affected by political and economic strategy regarding China.

Dr. Rice draws on her experience as national security advisor, ambassador to the U.N., and assistant secretary of state to put the current state of U.S.–China relations in perspective and to present potential policy courses for the future. Dr. Kuo brings her extensive academic and professional experience, including as head of the Seattle-based Washington State China Relations Council and former Asian affairs analyst for the federal government, to discuss factors that state and local decision-makers must assess in crafting effective China strategies.

WSU Pullman is one of about 80 venues nationwide participating in the eleventh annual CHINA Town Hall, presented by the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations.

Sponsored by the Asia Program with support from the Department of History, WSU History Club, and College of Arts & Sciences.
