- How the outcome and issues coming out of this election may affect the new presidency, the new Congress, people and the role of business in influencing the most important decision that may set the direction of the country and the relations with its international peers over the next decade;
- What might this mean for the U.S.-China bilateral relations, and how might the Chinese leadership prepare for and manage this?
- What can this mean for the American business community in China working with the new president for support of our advocacy, public-private partnerships, export of technology, goods and services, and other market access efforts?
- How should the China-based operations work with the U.S. corporate headquarters to manage the lame duck period and set up for the transition into the new administration?
