The U.S. and China compete for global dominance in the areas of tech and innovation; however, in an era of global firms and global citizens they must also learn to cooperate.

This program is organized as part of our China & The World program series, organized in conjunction with MSU Asian Studies Center and MSU Office of China Programs.
The Global Business Club of Mid-Michigan focuses on global issues of interest to the mid-Michigan business community.
