Location: The Heritage Foundation's Allison Auditorium
The Obama Administration has rechristened the Strategic Economic
Dialogue with China as the Strategic and Economic Dialogue and
intends to emphasize different topics, such as climate
change. The new S&ED meets only once annually, with the
2009 meetings scheduled for July 27-28 in Washington. That
puts a good deal of pressure on each round to at least create
conditions for improved bilateral relations. Our panel will
discuss trade, finance, the environment and other issues. Can
the S&ED accomplish something worthwhile or is it much ado
about nothing?
