China’s rapid development and Chinese-American relations have a direct impact on the lives of just about everyone in the United States. “China Town Hall: Local Connections, National Reflections,” a national day of programming on China involving 50 cities throughout the United States, is presented by the National Committee on United States-China Relations.
The program is designed to afford Americans the opportunity to discuss relations between China and the United States with leading experts. The fifth annual “China Town Hall” will be held locally on Wednesday, November 16, 2011 at 6:45pm in the Cranford Community Center.
The event will feature a live Webcast by Zbigniew Brzezinski, former national security advisor and current counselor and trustee of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C. The Webcast will be followed by an in-person presentation by Professor Margaret K. Lewis, whose topic will be “Human Rights and the Rule of Law.” Professor Lewis is a Public Intellectuals Program Fellow at Seton Hall Law School and a member of the National Committee on United States-China Relations.
Admission to the program is free and all are welcome. The program is sponsored by Cranford High School and the Cranford Public Library.
