The U.S.-China Subnational Symposium brings together state officials from across the country who work on China issues in the areas of trade and investment, education, culture, agriculture, and development. In this time of heightened tensions in the bilateral relationship, the symposium seeks to educate, foster coordination, and develop best practices among participants.
In June 2007, the National Committee worked with long-time partner, the National League of Cities (NLC), and new partner, the League of California Cities (LCC) on a ten-day study tour to Beijing, Qingdao and Shanghai for mayors, city council members, and the NLC and LCC leadership.
