Jan Berris, National Committee on US-China Relations; Ann Lin, Director, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies, Nicholas Howson, Michigan Law School, University of Michigan

From her office at the National Committee for United States-China Relations, Jan Berris has overseen the US-China relationship, from the earliest visit of China's ping-pong team in 1972 to the congratulatory letters that both Joe Biden and Xi Jinping sent to NCUSCR's anniversary gala this year. She will talk about the arc of the two countries' relationship and how it might change in the future - and about how her U-M education equipped her to help it develop.
