What We Do
High-Level Dialogues
Overview
High-Level Dialogues are aimed at building trust through ongoing dialogues and open interactions. China Forums gather leaders from the military, government, economy and other key sectors to discuss the issues impacting this bilateral relationship with the broader American academic community. Since its establishment, CUSEF has created open spaces for discussion between officials of the highest order from both the U.S. and China. Through a series of programs that gather leaders from various areas of both nations’ governments, we provide insights into the China-U.S. relationship at the highest level.
