Where Great Powers Meet: America and China in Asia

TRAVERSE CITY — Dr. David Shambaugh, director of the China Policy Program at George Washington University will speak at a June 28 International Affairs Forum global hot spot event on the current state of U.S.-China relations.

Shambaugh opened a 2014 conference convened by IAF, bringing together 40 experts on foreign policy, business, education, art and culture to debate what China’s emergence would mean for northern Michigan. Since then, China’s economic, military and political clout has grown enormously. Shambaugh has just returned from an extended study tour of key Asian countries and will discuss how the continuing growth of China’s influence is shifting the dynamics of U.S. and China relations.

In addition, NMC President Tim Nelson will provide an update on connections between northern Michigan and China. What has grown? What has withered? And what are the “next big things” between our region and Asia.

The presentation is scheduled for 6 p.m. at the Hagerty Center. Reception begins at 5 p.m. Tickets are $15 for IAF members and $20 for non-members and available at MyNorthTickets.com.

Release date: June 1, 2017
