Trade war is ongoing between the world’s two largest economies. For over a year, we have been seeing escalating tension in China-United States economic and political relations as both sides take turns to attack and counterattack. However, as the issue is complex and understanding involves expertise of various areas, the trade war leaves us students with many questions.
Why did it occur? How does the trade war affects us? What are the implications? Was there any political motives? How does China’s history, institution and culture play a role in crafting its foreign policies and responses in the trade war? What is the bigger picture?
This fall, HUA Dialogue presents its October special event co-sponsored by the Centre for Chinese Research (CCR), inviting Dr.Timothy Cheek and scholars to decipher together the issue of the trade war in the historical, economic and political context with students. See you at night on Oct 28th in Asian Centre Auditorium.
*The event is FREE and dinner and drinks will be provided.
**We encourage you to use the language you are most comfortable with. We will provide translation in the event.
一場大規模的貿易戰正在世界上兩個最大的經濟體之間上演。一年多來，雙方來回加徵關稅使得中美經濟和政治關係的緊張局勢不斷升級。雖說如此，由於貿易戰的話題複雜且涉及到專業知識，對於學生來說，這個話題讓我們產生了很多難以找到解答的疑問。貿易戰為何發生？對我們有什麼影響？它有什麼更深的寓意？是否帶有政治目的性？中國的歷史、制度和文化在其製定對外政策和貿易戰中的應對方法起到了什麼作用？
這個秋季，對話將攜手UBC中華研究中心共同舉辦10月特別活動。特別邀請UBC中華研究中心教授Dr.Timothy Cheek與參與者一起從歷史、經濟和政治等多角度解析探討中美貿易戰。我們誠邀你，在10月28日晚，於Asian Centre Auditorium,不見不散。
*活動免費，無需報名，現場會提供晚餐及飲料
**我們鼓勵你用自己最舒服的語言參與討論，如有需要，我們會提供翻譯
