Join Asia Society Hong Kong Center (ASHK) for a lunch and panel discussion featuring University of Washington Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies academics and alumni on shaping worldviews on Sino-US relations in the fields of business, finance and politics.
What do emerging leaders know and what should they know about one of the world’s most consequential geopolitical relationships? For decades, graduates of the Jackson School have been at the fore of shaping public and private networks that span Hong Kong, the US West Coast, and Mainland China. For this discussion we invite reflection from economist and current Jackson School faculty member Clair Zhuqing Yang and Jackson School alum and Blackrock Hong Kong CFA Steven Margitan on what the future holds for the next generation shaping those crucial ties. Moderated by Jackson School director Danny Hoffman, we will explore what the changing technological, political and economic landscape of Sino-US relations will mean for today’s young leaders as they shape the economic and political future.

Daniel Hoffman is Jackson School Director and Stanley D. Golub Endowed Chair in International Studies at the University of Washington. Hoffman, a professor of international studies and comparative history of ideas, joined the UW faculty in 2004. His previous leadership roles at the University have included serving as chair of African Studies and associate chair of the Department of Anthropology. His research focuses on militarization in West Africa. He holds a Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology from Duke University.

Steven Margitan, CFA, is currently a Director at BlackRock in Hong Kong, leading the company’s Multi-Alternatives business in the region. Prior to BlackRock, he worked for Capital Group in Hong Kong and Los Angeles. He also worked for the United States Department of State, where he was posted to the US Embassy in Beijing as a diplomat in the Foreign Service. He has lived in Hong Kong for nine years and spent three years working/studying in Beijing/Chengdu. Growing up in Seattle, he graduated from the University of Washington in 2009 with degrees in International Studies and Economics. He also completed graduate degrees at University of Cambridge and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

Clair Yang earned her Ph.D. in Managerial Economics and Strategy from Northwestern University in 2016, and her B.S. in Mathematics from Peking University in Beijing, China. Dr. Yang has most recently been a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Sloan School of Management at MIT. Her research is in the area of political economy, applied microeconomics and the Chinese economy.
