*This event is for Chairman's Circle members and Policy+ subscribers only*

Following our Policy+ exclusive conversation with the Bill Reinsch of CSIS in early June, AmCham China is pleased to meet with the organization again on Wednesday, June 15, from 20:00 to 21:30 (BJ Time), as part of the ongoing 2022 Virtual DC outreach efforts. In the meeting, AmCham China Chairman Colm Rafferty, together with the DC Outreach delegates, will exchange views with Scott Kennedy, Senior Adviser and Trustee Chair in Chinese Business and Economics and senior staff on US-China relations, and recap their recent report on Chinese industrial policies, which is being closely reviewed by the administration as they seek tools to address China's subsidies.

We would like to extend the invite to the Policy+ group for listening in. If time allows, attendees can also raise questions during the Q&A. Due to the time limits, we will close the registration by noon June 14th (BJ time). If you personally are already a DC Outreach delegate and have already RSVP'd for this meeting, there is no need to sign up again.

For any questions, please email Jenny Chen at jchen@amchamchina.org.
