With China-U.S. relations hitting a rough patch and no tariff trade talks currently underway, there was at least one bright spot: a group of Chinese and Americans meeting and speaking in Washington, D.C. this week. The renowned Chinese think tank, the Center for China and Globalization, held their annual meeting. It was a rare opportunity for former diplomats, policy makers and academics to share their views on the China-U.S. relationship.
