COVID-19 and the Relationship: Collision or Collaboration

As the novel coronavirus and resulting illness, COVID-19, spread across China and now the United States and much of the world, national governments have had to scramble to address this unprecedented health threat. At the same time, the pandemic has caused an enormous strain in relations at a time when the two countries are contending with an on-going trade war and other sources of friction. Join the National Committee on April 14 at 4:00 p.m. EDT for a virtual program during which Committee President Steve Orlins will lead a conversation with three experts: Yuen Yuen Ang of the University of Michigan, Amy Celico of the Albright Stonebridge Group, and Elizabeth Knup of the Ford Foundation, as they consider how the rampant spread of the virus is affecting the relationship, and what the long-term impact may be in the political, economic, and social realms.
