March , 2022

From January 19 to 21, 2022 China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF) partnered up with the China Center for International Economic Exchanges (CCIEE) for an online international forum on China-U.S. relations.

Against the stark backdrop of the ongoing global pandemic, the online forum — themed “Beyond Differences, Towards Cooperation” — brought together more than 30 global leaders and experts to examine key challenges and areas of cooperation facing the United States and China.

We aim to capture the forum in its entirety with the publication of all keynote remarks. The transcripts have been lightly edited for clarity.
