SUMMARY:Stabilizing US-China Relations in a Time of Tension
DESCRIPTION:The Tennessee World Affairs Council\nis proud to present\nStabilizing US-China Relations in a Time of Tension\n at\n\n\nWednesday\, October 23\, 2024\n5:50 PM – 7:00 PM\nBelmont University. Town Hall in partnership with the Center for Global Citizenship\n  \nAmbassador Randt first visited Beijing in 1974 and has witnessed the monumental changes that have occurred. That the US and China have profound differences is hardly surprising considering China’s different national circumstances\, 5\,000 years of history\, culture and\, ultimately values. As the most consequential relationship in the world\, it is essential that both sides work constructively to manage these differences. With a population of 1.4 billion people\, a prosperous China at peace with itself and its neighbors is not only good for China\, but good for the US and the world. Both the US and China want peace\, stability\, and prosperity for our respective peoples. Taiwan\, the South China Sea\, intellectual property\, human rights\, military buildups\, cyber-security\, and certain technology transfers are among the many sources of tension that must be managed. Such management requires understanding and continuous engagement.\n \n\n  \nSpeaker:\nAMBASSADOR CLARK T. RANDT JR.\n\nFormer Ambassador to China \nAmbassador Clark T. Randt Jr.\, former Ambassador to China\, brings extensive diplomatic experience and deep insights into U.S.-China relations. His tenure in Beijing and subsequent engagements provide unique perspectives on stabilizing bilateral ties amidst global tensions. Ambassador Randt’s strategic vision and nuanced understanding of geopolitical complexities inform his advocacy for constructive engagement and dialogue between the two superpowers. \n  \n  \n\n\nRegister Now\nInternational Career Panel | April 3\, 2024\n \n\n\n\n\n \nTHE MISSION of the nonprofit\, nonpartisan Tennessee World Affairs Council is to promote international awareness\, understanding and connections to enhance the region’s global stature and to prepare Tennesseans to thrive in our increasingly complex and connected world. \nTHE VISION of  the Tennessee World Affairs Council is a well-informed community that thinks critically about the world and the impact of global events.
