On Thursday, June 20, 2024, a group of high school students from a George Washington University summer program visited the ICAS office to learn about the Washington, D.C. think tank community and the complexities of U.S.-China relations. After an introductory talk on the background and changing nature of U.S.-China relations, the discussion largely focused on understanding current trade tensions, the competition over green technology, and the ongoing, necessary attempts to stabilize this vital relationship.
This student visit is part of the Institute’s vision to nurture future thought-leaders by engaging policy questions with sincerity and frankness and providing a window into the worldviews of both the United States and China, and thereby serve as a vehicle to promote greater understanding between these two countries and societies.
