· Discovering how trade wars and talent loss affect the middle class.
· Exploring strategies for fostering collaboration and retaining talent.
Expert Panel included:
Scott Rozelle: A leading scholar in Chinese economics, Rozelle has recently participated in Track Two diplomacy initiatives between the U.S. and China.
Peter Michelson: A renowned physicist at Stanford University, Michelson has expressed concerns about the impact of the DoJ’s China Initiative on reverse brain drain.
