July 2011 Conference Introduction Global China Connection “Cultivating Tomorrow’s Leaders” Third Annual Asia Summit 全球 中国 联 接 GLOBAL CHINA CONNECTION July 9, 2011 Building relationships that will change the world Wenjin International Hotel Beijing, China www.gccglobal.org For inquiries, please contact [email protected] What will the leaders of today teach the trailblazers of tomorrow? Global China Connection is committed to preparing the international student community to face the challenges of tomorrow. Join us this summer for our third annual Asia conference “Cultivating Tomorrow’s Leaders,” as we bring together the leading change-makers of Sino-Global relations to share their stories of personal growth and engage in discussion with 400 student leaders representing China, United States, Europe, Latin America, and more. The conference will be a large-scale one day event in which there will be a total of three keynote addresses, three panel discussions, and two networking events in order to create a thorough discussion on the challenges and opportunities for our future. Beyond general surface differences between Western and Eastern culture, there is much for our nations’ youth to discuss and understand in order to build long-term trust and strong relationships. Many cultural differences are not obvious, yet impact international trade and professional relationships deeply. Linguistic and visual differences in Western and Eastern languages result in differences in visual discrimination, and companies including Taobao and eBay have won and lost entire markets by their abilities to pick up on these differences when designing their web interface. Whether pursuing direct localization strategies or not, multinationals are struggling to create aligned business cultures and hierarchies that fully address underlying cultural nuances. The purpose of this year’s conference is to more fully analyze what these differences mean, and bring leaders together to share how they have overcome these differences in real, and unexpected ways. The focus of the conference is to bring perspective to the role and development of leadership. By bringing an international group of students together from many perspectives, we hope to provide an opportunity for Chinese and international college students to work together to consider real world challenges. The mission of our conference is to foster communication, cooperation, and innovative thinking among students who must take into account multiple perspectives and a complex and challenging environment. Building Relationships That Will Change The World Conference Schedule July 9, 2011 Events to take place at the Wenjin International Hotel in Beijing.

This event has been made possible thanks to the generous support of our conference sponsors: Building Relationships That Will Change The World Panel Topics “Cultivating Tomorrow’s Leaders” will feature a total of three panel discussions: I. Topic One: Dealmaking in China’s Financial Community Over the past years attention has been focused on developments in China's finance industry, particularly the growth of regional private equity and hedge funds and increasing activity of homegrown investment banks. But this development is not purely financial. Whereas in Western markets firms compete on the basis of technical financial engineering and analysis, in China, top firms are ones that can attract “deal closers” who bring operational value to firms through the connections needed to source and close deals. The panel will seek to bring together top dealmakers from the finance community to find answers to the following questions: What are the key foundations for successful deal sourcing and negotiations in China? In a society with guanxi, do negotiations matter? And what about in the West? How can dealmakers claim value at the table by overcoming potential traps/barriers? And as China’s financiers gain more experience, how will the market change? II. Topic Two: Understanding the Local Consumer Whether in business, government, nonprofit, or even in the simplest situations, our ability to satisfy the needs and tastes of clients, customers, and partners can make or break our endeavors. Anthropologists often note the differences between the “high context” cultures of East Asia and “low context” cultures of the West that shape communication flows key for social networking, marketing and more. Complicating matters further, linguistic and visual differences between Western and Eastern languages resulting differences in visual discrimination that have tremendous impact on the way printed and electronic information is perceived. This panel will explore some of the most, and least, successful strategies used in China to serve local consumers. III. Topic Three: New Strategies for Innovation in Healthcare Healthcare is a headline issue for China’a twelfth five-year plan. As the industry roars ahead at a annual growth rate nearing 20%, tough challenges and incredible opportunities await those who will seek to solve today’s most pressing challenges: grueling lines at hospitals, high cost for out-of-pocket care, rural/urban divides in availability of treatment, medical talent shortages, an exploding pharmaceutical industry, and more. As China and its people age, the quality of service demanded and need for smart solutions will only grow stronger. This panel seeks to bring together China’s leading health care experts from industry, academia, research, and more to discuss what is currently, according to the China State Statistical Bureau, the most pressing concern for China and its people.

A fitting finale to our 60th anniversary celebrations was the June 13, 2010, symposium in Taipei, “Taiwan in the Twenty-first Century: Politics, Economy and Society.” This symposium continued WEAI’s outreach programs in East Asia to local Columbia alumni and to all prior visiting scholars, professional fellows, or participants at WEAI. The first three symposia were held in Beijing, Tokyo, and Seoul during May and June of 2009, and planning is now under way for a May 2011 sym- posium to take place in Hong Kong. As with the earlier events, the Taipei symposium involved close cooperation with the Columbia Alumni Association. The local signifi- cance of the symposium was underscored by the keynote speaker, Vincent Siew, vice president of the Republic of China (Taiwan), and by the meeting on the following day of symposium panelists and speakers with ROC President Ma Ying-jeou.

  • 2018 CHINA Town Hall Brochure
    AN INTERACTIVE WEBCAST FEATURING SECRETARY CONDOLEEZZA RICE MODERATED BY STEPHEN A. ORLINS PRESIDENT, NATIONAL COMMITTEE ON UNITED STATES-CHINA RELATIONS WITH 100+ LOCAL PROGRAMS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA ADDRESSING TOPICS OF INTEREST TO EACH COMMUNITY OCTOBER 9, 2018 REFLECTION ON CHINA TOWN HALL January 1, 2019, marks the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and China. After more than four decades of war, and massive numbers of lives lost, that historic achievement was followed by forty years of peace in East Asia and the Pacific. Since then, hundreds of millions of Chinese have been lifted out of poverty and the two economies have become the drivers of world economic growth. The United States and China have jointly confronted global problems such as the financial crisis of 2008, Ebola, piracy, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and climate change. Trade with China has allowed American consumers to save significant sums, which they then spend on education, health care, travel, and consumer goods. Now, however, growing concerns on both sides bring new challenges to the relationship. Trade and investment friction, cyber intrusions and security, protection of intellectual property rights, security issues, and maritime disputes are among the many issues that threaten to hamper the potential that constructive relations offer to both our nations. Increasing numbers of Americans are questioning the value of engagement with China, yet Americans in every state and from all walks of life are affected by the Sino-American relationship in countless ways. It is therefore important that Americans understand China and how developments there affect us.

  • The China Effect on Global Innovation October 2015
    THE CHINA EFFECT ON GLOBAL INNOVATION OCTOBER 2015 HIGHLIGHTS 15 27 103 The innovation Innovation in China Cheaper, faster, imperative today more global Long-standing sources of Mapping China’s innovation China’s impact on growth are waning performance innovation around the world In the 25 years since its founding, the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) has sought to develop a deeper understanding of the evolving global economy. As the business and economics research arm of McKinsey & Company, MGI aims to provide leaders in commercial, public, and social sectors with the facts and insights on which to base management and policy decisions. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our “micro-to-macro” methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth, natural resources, labor markets, the evolution of global financial markets, the economic impact of technology and innovation, and urbanization. Recent reports have assessed global flows; the economies of Brazil, Japan, Mexico, and Nigeria; China’s digital transformation; India’s path from poverty to empowerment; affordable housing; and the effects of global debt. MGI is led by three McKinsey & Company directors: Richard Dobbs, James Manyika, and Jonathan Woetzel. Michael Chui, Susan Lund, and Jaana Remes serve as MGI partners. Project teams are led by the MGI partners and a group of senior fellows, and include consultants from McKinsey offices around the world.
