On Tuesday, July 30, join us for an insightful discussion on "The Impacts of U.S.-China Relations on Science & A.I. Talent." Experts will examine the evolving landscape of U.S.-China relations and visa regulations against the backdrop of increasingly restricted migration flow between the two countries. Attendees will hear about how evolving dynamics between the United States and China influence talent mobility, research collaborations, and technological advancements. Speakers include Chenjian Li, physician scientist and a research fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University, and H.-S. Philip Wong, Willard R. and Inez Kerr Bell Professor in the School of Engineering at Stanford University. 

This program is a part of our Seeking Truth Through Facts U.S.-China Program Series, which focuses on new strategic frameworks for the bilateral relationship, plurilateral relationships, rebalancing trade, national security, technology, and climate change; as well as the global impact of the political and economic landscape.
