About this Event
The Honorable Wang Baodong, Consul General of the People’s Republic of China in Chicago and Ker Gibbs, former President of the American Chamber of Commerce Shanghai and new author of The Fragile Dragon: Trade, Trump and China’s Vulnerabilities, join us for a discussion, following the Xi-Trump Summit, of key business and political developments from Western and Chinese perspectives.
As an American businessman of Chinese ancestry, Mr. Gibbs had extraordinary access to leaders on both sides, giving him remarkable insight into why tensions between the US and China have escalated so sharply, threatening global commerce and stability.
In this new book, Mr. Gibbs offers guidance on how business people can think about China and what it takes to succeed, whether it’s navigating the narrow corridor between what China wants and what the US will allow, partnering with rather than competing against local players, or structuring businesses to minimize risk if a catastrophic event takes place, as appears more and more likely.
We expect participants, Consul General Wang and Mr. Gibbs to have a robust roundtable conversation about the future Chinese business environment for Americans in light of the Xi-Trump Summit on May 14-15.
