*** This event will begin at 4:30pm MT (30 minutes earlier than originally planned) as per this message from the national CHINA Town Hall organizers: “We will begin next Tuesday’s CHINA Town Hall webcast at 6:30pm ET, due to a newly arisen, pressing State Department matter that will require Deputy Secretary Kurt Campbell to depart by 7:30pm ET. We sincerely apologize for this last-minute time change and any inconvenience/extra effort it may cause you. Please know that we first exhausted all other options that would have avoided having to begin CTH 30 minutes earlier.” ***

The Department of Sociology at CSU has the privilege of serving as a local partner for the National Committee on United States-China Relations (NCUCR) annual China Town Hall. This partnership features a nationally televised talk and a Q&A session with Dr. Kurt Campbell, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State. This will be succeeded by a localized discussion on U.S.-China relations, steered by Dr. KuoRay Mao, Associate Professor of Sociology.

This event is part of CSU’s thematic YEAR of DEMOCRACY and will be held virtually on Zoom. Please contact Dr. Mao with questions. 

NCUCR is distinguished as the foremost American, non-partisan public affairs organization committed exclusively to the development of constructive and sustainable relationships between the United States and Greater China. This Committee facilitates platforms for informed dialogue and deliberate debate on subjects of shared interest and concern among the United States, mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Each year, the NCUCR partners with local entities to convene the CHINA Town Hall (CTH), a nuanced program that provides an analysis of the current dynamics of U.S.-China relations and assesses their implications at the local level. This initiative is designed to engage Americans across the nation with U.S. policymakers and eminent China experts. Submit a question to ask live on April 9 here: https://www.tfaforms.com/5105544.

The 2024 China Town Hall collaboration extends to April 10 with a local virtual event that includes a live presentation and discussion focused on the dynamics of Sino-U.S. collaboration and competition within the ambit of global biodiversity conservation. This session will be presented by Mr. Zhong Zhao, an esteemed 2022 Yale University Maurice R. Greenberg World Fellow and a 2023 visiting scholar at CSU, and hosted by Dr. Mao. Click here for details.
