The Minnock Institute
for Global Engagement invites you to join BSU, the National Committee on United
States-China Relations, and 80+ communities across the US for China Town Hall,
a national conversation on China, on October 24 from 6-8 pm in the Maxwell
Library Lecture Hall, Room 013.
Kaiser Kuo, host of the Sinica Podcast, a weekly discussion of current affairs in China, will
speak at BSU on "China, the US, and the
Internet: A Complicated Web." His talk will be followed by a national
webcast with former National Security Advisor Susan Rice, who will
examine America’s economic, political and security relations with China.
Kaiser
Kuo recently repatriated to the United States after 20 years in Beijing, where
he worked as Director of International Communications for Baidu. He was
previously a technology reporter in China. Kaiser was guitarist and co-founder
of the band Chunqiu (Spring & Autumn), and was a founder of China’s first
heavy metal band, Tang Dynasty. He is a graduate of the University of
California, Berkeley, and holds an M.A. from the University of Arizona.
Ambassador Susan E.
Rice was national security advisor (2013-2017) for the Obama administration and
U.S. permanent representative to the UN (2009-2013), as well as U.S. assistant
secretary of state for African affairs and senior director for African affairs
at the National Security Council. Her critical role as a presidential advisor
developing and executing U.S. foreign policy makes her perspective on the
relationship especially relevant during this uncertain time in the bilateral
relationship.
For fifty years, the National
Committee on United States-China Relations has been the leading national,
non-partisan, nonprofit public affairs organization devoted to building
constructive and durable relationships between the United States and China. This
is BSU's third year as a participant in this national conversation.
China Town Hall is
open to the BSU Community and the public.
