http://gccglobal.org/conferences/chinaontheglobalstage/registration

“China on the Global Stage” is Global China Connection’s third annual U.S. conference. While much analysis of modern China focuses on how contemporary trends in politics, economics, and culture are generating internal changes, this forum will analyze the PRC’s development from an exclusively global perspective: charting the worldwide impact of China’s economic policies, educational and environmental reforms, and attitudes towards the international community. Our keynote speakers include John Veihmeyer, Chairman of KPMG Americas.
