China and the United States are two of the leading countries in the world for technology innovation, internet business, and telecommunications. Technology’s rapid evolution is exciting, but it poses challenging policy questions. How does a country best encourage technology innovation in a global marketplace? How do the Chinese and American internet marketplaces differ? What unique policy questions arise on the internet within and between the two countries? What can Americans learn from Chinese expertise in telecommunications and wireless manufacturing? How do these geographically large and diverse countries facilitate broadband buildout and adoption? This event aims to forge bridges between Chinese and American scholars, innovators, and policymakers seeking to better understand their counterparts.
