The Trustee Chair in Chinese Business and Economics is delighted to invite you to attend this public, online roundtable discussion on China and the ongoing Section 301 investigations into how forced labor and overcapacity could be harming U.S. trade interests.

The Office of the U.S.

Trade Representative is currently carrying out two Section 301 investigations into the potential negative impact that forced labor and overcapacity elsewhere may be having on the U.S. economy.

These investigations cover many countries, but China is a central target in both.

Moderated by Trustee Chair Scott Kennedy, this roundtable will analyze the investigation from the legal, economic, and diplomatic perspectives, featuring insights from Wendy Cutler (Asia Society Policy Institute), Mary Lovely (Peterson Institute for International Economics), Claire Reade (Arnold & Porter), and Wei Liang (Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey).

The discussion will compare the current case with the 2017-2018 Section 301 investigation into intellectual property rights (IPR) theft by China and consider potential alternative approaches to managing commercial relations with China.

This event is made possible by generous support to CSIS.
