2024 Future of U.S. and China Conference: Southeast Asia Amidst the Complex U.S.-China Relationship

San Francisco, January 18, 2024 – For the sixth consecutive year, Asia Society Northern California members and guests come together for a full day of live programming for their annual Future of U.S. & China Conference, part of its Seeking Truth Through Facts U.S.-China Program Series.   Tensions between the U.S. and China are trickling down to the rest of the world. Countries are responding pragmatically, safeguarding their own interests. Session 3 begins with a presentation by Laura Silver, Associate Director of Global Attitudes Research at Pew Research Center, covering how the U.S. and China are perceived across 24 countries around the globe.   Following the presentation, panelists Scot Marciel (Oksenberg-Rohlen Fellow, Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University and former U.S. Ambassador to Myanmar and Indonesia) and Gita Wirjawan (Chairman and Founder, Ancora Group; Visiting Scholar at Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center at Stanford University and Minister of Trade of Indonesia between 2011 – 2014), delve into Southeast Asia’s role and experience in navigating U.S.-China relations. Southeast Asia has become one of the critical regions where U.S. and China interests and competition converge, owing to its strategic location and increasingly important position in the global economy. - Stay up to date with us here: Twitter: @AsiaSocietySF Instagram: @AsiaSocietySF
