About the Conference

The conference series on China-U.S. relations became a tremendous success because of the strength of the conference program and the caliber of speakers and attendees. Representatives from China and the United States made great progress in furthering collaboration and research between the two countries, starting with the first conference in 2003. At the second conference in Beijing in 2005, and the third conference in Washington, D.C. in 2007, these existing collaborations were strengthened and new relationships were established.

The 2009 conference was held at the Renaissance Beijing Capital Hotel in Beijing, China, on October 21-23, 2009. The 2011 conference, fifth in the series, was held at the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, on October 23-24, 2011.
