$Looking Ahead: A New U.S. \u2013 China Business Paradigm?$

Executive Roundtable will analyze key business and political developments from both Western and Chinese perspectives.
About this Event

Ker Gibbs, former President, American Chamber of Commerce Shanghai and author, The Fragile Dragon: Trade, Tump and China's Vulnrabilities, will lead an Executive Roundtable analyzing key business and political developments from both 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 and Mr. Gibbs to have a robust roundtable conversation abiut the Chinese business environment for Americans, especially following the scheduled Xi-Trump summit the previous week.
