Our distinguished panelists will discuss relations between Taiwan, China, and the United States in the larger context of cross-Strait and trans-Pacific politics. Will U.S. calls for China to revalue its currency, conflict over Google, and other economic disputes bring U.S.-China relations, already strained, to a new low? Or has the ongoing global economic crisis created powerful new opportunities for cooperation? Will the proposed Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) between Taiwan and China be signed this summer, and what are the broader implications of this revolutionary proposal for East Asian economic integration?
Panelists will address these questions as well as others concerning corporate governance, the challenge of rural development, microfinance, and environmental issues.
This event opens the 2010 Bay Area Strait Talk Symposium, a week of workshops and events aimed at promoting peaceful relations across the Taiwan Strait and Pacific Rim. Strait Talk is a student-organized, non-partisan exchange that seeks to transform international conflict by connecting young people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the United States.
