China’s rapid development and Sino-American relations have a direct impact on the lives of just about everyone in the United States.  CHINA Town Hall: Local Connections, National Reflections, is a national day of programming designed to provide Americans across the United States and beyond the opportunity to discuss these issues with leading experts.  The national program consists of a live webcast, featuring Madeleine Albright, the 64th United States Secretary of State, discussing U.S.-China relations. National Committee on U.S.-China Relations President Stephen A. Orlins will moderate this 45-minute portion of the program, comprised of a 15-minute talk followed by half an hour during which Secretary Albright will respond to questions emailed in from audience members throughout the country.
