The U.S. and China represent the two largest economies in the world, with deeply interconnected yet often competing interests. Their economic relationship involves trade, investment, and technology exchanges, shaped by regulatory, cultural, and geopolitical factors. This workshop will explore the economic interdependencies between these two powers and provide a discussion into the impact of these unique yet interwoven economic landscapes.
The insights shared will not only enhance your knowledge on this topic but also inspire educators with new ways to engage students in conversations about global interdependence, trade, and economic policy. Don’t miss this opportunity to enrich your teaching toolkit and bring real-world relevance into your classroom. This webinar is open to everyone who is interested in this topic.
