China Challenge Summit

The 2022 China Challenge Summit will be one of the most important gatherings of leaders and experts in U.S.-China relations, international trade and business, national security policy, and others to provide private- and public-sector leaders with both strategic insight and tactical advice for operating in the current global environment.

In the coming years, China will overtake the United States as the world's largest economy. Currently, they are the United States’ third-largest trading partner — after Canada and Mexico, respectively — with total trade amounting to over $650 billion in 2021 according to data from the International Trade Administration. 

The China Challege Summit convenes a high-profile group of leaders from across the nation and world — including you and your colleagues — to yield quality thought-leadership around three themes:

  • China’s economic, trade, business, and foreign policies.
  • China’s geopolitical strategy and U.S. foreign policy towards China.
  • How U.S. businesses and policymakers should respond to these challenges.

Attendees (in-person and virtual) will have the opportunity to learn from and engage with a unique group of China specialists on today’s most salient diplomatic and industrial challenges.
