2021 Summit
In the wake of the ongoing pandemic and worsening ties between the U.S. and China many have wondered what the future looks like for the Sino-U.S. relationship and the world. As the U.S. and China push further away from one another politically and as the rest of us keep away from one another for safety, distance has become the new normal. Eliminating the threat of COVID-19 will take time, but it will happen and life will return to a semblance of normality. But what will it take to remediate relations between China and the U.S.? Is there a way to create a more open, more objective, and stronger U.S.-China relationship? Would producing such a result be desirable? Furthermore, would it even be possible? These are the questions we hope to explore at this year’s summit: Reversing the Tide? The U.S. and China in 2021 and Beyond.

Delegate Experience
The China Leadership Summit invites leading experts to speak on topics of importance to Sino-U.S. relations and create a platform for students from across the United States and all over the world to exchange perspectives on these issues, connect with speakers, and network with one another. CLS hosted students for the first time in spring of 2011. Since then, our annual conference has more than doubled in size from 40 students in 2011 to around 150 students in 2019.
CLS brings together the most promising undergraduates from around China and the U.S. each year who are interested in deepening their understanding of China and creating a more productive relationship between the U.S. and China. As a delegate, you will attend panels, roundtable discussions, seminars and keynote speeches led by professionals committed to the U.S.-China relationship in various fields including academia, business, government, and social activism. You will have the chance to discuss some of the most pressing issues pertaining to Sino-U.S. relations with your peers as well as network with our speakers, corporate sponsors and each other.

"CLS helped me discover and develop my passions for China, international relations and connecting people with other people that share these passions. The people I met and worked with are not just great business contacts to have down the line but are my good friends."

“I made long-lasting and professional connections with students from both Duke and UNC. Additionally, I was able to build my managing and cross-cultural abilities, something that I have found to be extremely appealing to employers and higher education institutions.”
