As Dr. Kratz stated, the Asian Studies of UTD was founded in the hope of “to bring scholars with both a Chinese and a Western perspective to together provide a balanced commentary on global issues”, three scholars who come from different backgrounds but share that same vision exchanged their views on the next chapter of the US-China relations.

This lecture took place at a critical historical moment, which was following the face-to-face talks between high-ranking US and Chinese government officials and not to mention it has just been announced that John Kerry, the US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate and formerly the Secretary of State was set to visit Shanghai to discuss climate issues.

During the lecture, Dr. Wang shared his insights on the implications of the recent in-person meeting of high-ranking US and China officials in Anchorage, Alaska, for hopes of a "long-anticipated start of warming bilateral relations" between the two nations during the Biden Administration. Dr. Wang suggested that co-opetition and strategic competition are likely to be the new direction of the China-US relations. In addition, issues of global governance including pandemic fighting, poverty elimination, infrastructure and the internet were also addressed by Dr. Wang, referring to China's experience in them.

This event was co-sponsored by the School of Arts and Humanities and School of Economics, Political and Policy Science of UTD, Dallas Museum of Art, Crow Collection of Asian Art at UTD, Wildenthal Honors College, Center for Global Business at JSOM and Edith O’Donnell Institute for Art History.

More Information

The internationalization of Chinese enterprises is one of the most notable aspects of economic globalization in the 21st century. Despite the 2008 financial crisis and weak global outbound investment, under the “go global“ initiative, Chinese outbound investment has gone from strength to strength, while also diversifying in terms of investment modalities, destinations, and industries. However, growing anti-globalization sentiment in some countries has also created new challenges for Chinese firms expanding internationally.

Drawing on nearly 3000 data samples, using both quantitative and qualitative research methods, this book presents unique insights into the features and patterns of Chinese enterprises’ globalization. The analysis provides a useful reference for enterprises that have already gone global and those that plan to. In particular, this book investigates challenges confronted by Chinese companies when doing business in foreign countries. It summarizes research covering three angles, namely: the current situation, causation analysis and corresponding solutions, and recommendations for firms, government agencies and other institutions.

This book provides a comprehensive overview to help readers to grasp the broad picture of the international expansion of Chinese enterprises. It has important reference value for enterprises to help devise foreign investment strategy, seize opportunities, and navigate challenges in the course of globalization.

More Information

This book offers the most comprehensive, up-to-date assessment of China’s domestic and international migration. Restructuring economic development requires large numbers of educated and skilled talents, but this effort comes at a time when the size of China’s domestic workforce is shrinking. In response, both national and regional governments in China have been keen to encourage overseas Chinese talents and professionals to return to the country. Meanwhile, the Chinese government has initiated a number of policies to attract international highly-skilled talents and enhance the country’s competitiveness, and some Chinese policies have started attracting foreign talents, who are coming to the country to work, and even to stay. Since Chinese policies, mechanisms, and administration efforts to attract and retain skilled domestic or overseas talents are helping to reshape China’s economy and are significantly affecting the cooperation on migration and talent mobility, these aspects, in addition to being of scholarly and research interest, hold considerable commercial potential.
