Though it is the economic piece of the U.S.-Chinese relationship that is its cornerstone. The last four decades have seen China grow to become both a peer and competitor of the United States in almost every industry. Join us as we host renowned political economist, dean of the USC Marshall School of Business, and former Pacific Council President Geoffrey Garrett to explore how the United States should balance competition and collaboration with China, the prospects for economic decoupling, and the state of bilateral trade.
