Project Pengyou is a US-China relation organization that aims to create an inclusive platform for international Chinese students, Chinese Americans, Chinese language students and anyone else who wishes to engage in dialogue about US-China relations in any form.

We are inviting Andrew Mertha, a professor of government, specializing in Chinese and Cambodian politics, from Cornell University, to host a talk and discussion. The day before this event we will be screening the movie “First They Killed My Father” at the Marquis, as this will be the topic of our discussion.

Project Pengyou is partnered with the 2021 CHINA Town Hall (CTH), a national conversation now in its 15th year about how the U.S.- China relationship affects local communities, again this year. The conversation will take place on Tuesday, October 19, from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. EDT, and we are delighted to have Fareed Zakaria, host of Fareed Zakaria GPS (Global Public Square) for CNN Worldwide, The Washington Post columnist, and best-selling author as our speaker. The topics include economy, human rights, environment, and many more!

China’s rapid development and changing Sino-U.S. relations have a direct impact on the lives of nearly everyone in the United States. China Town Hall is a national conversation about China that provides the opportunity to discuss these issues with leading experts.

This year, ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos will join a panel of experts moderated by NCUSCR President Stephen Orlins, followed by an open Q&A discussion facilitated by Associate Professor on Political Science Jessica Teets.

In the second lecture of our China speaker series this spring, join Professor Suisheng Zhao from the University of Denver to discuss the evolution of Chinese nationalism and its implications on foreign policy. Professor Zhao will explore the history of Chinese nationalism and how this sentiment affects how the Chinese Government acts in its foreign policy. In particular, he will speak on how this ethnic pride contributed to the founding of New China as well as its contemporary effect on domestic and overseas Chinese students today.
