About the Event
Executive Roundtable sponsored by the International Trade Association of Greater Chicago with the Hong Kong Business Association of the Midwest. 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. We expect participants, Consul General Wang and Mr. Gibbs to have a robust roundtable conversation about the future Chinese business environment for Americans.
