Session #1:
Town Hall - Countering China: Should we Compete or Complain?

China-bashing is a popular sport in the West these days, deployed by politicians pushing everything from patent-law reform to deficit-cutting to trade protectionism. A decade after China joined the World Trade Organization, it continues to be the subject of multiple complaints, from undervaluing its currency and mobilizing trade policy to dominating global industries and demanding ownership stakes from foreign entrants. Listen to a rousing group conversation on free markets, trade and how the U.S. can level the playing field.
