Overlooking the library and Hoover Hall at Whittier College.

For the past two and a half months, I have been helping a professor of mine at Whittier College organize a live video teleconference between two panels of business experts on where the U.S.-Chinese business relationship is going to be in twenty years. I will be at the event, blogging about it as it happens on Newsvine.

Linked by video streaming over the Internet, these two panels -- one of American business leaders in the U.S. at Whittier College and the other panel being Chinese business leaders at SIAS University in China -- these business leaders will answer questions on the political, economic and environmental aspects of the incredible growth of the Chinese economy, and what that means for relations between these two superpowers.

The college I attend, Whittier College, has a unique position on this issue, as it is Richard Nixon's alma mater. Nixon did succeed at one thing in his presidency, and that was helping open China to the world, which has led to the amazing development China has seen in the past thirty years. As such, we have been conducting a Nixon series of events both discussing the past as well as the future. This conference is the latest in the series.

This conference will be held on September 26th at 7:30 P.M. Pacific time. I want to blog it here on Newsvine for several reasons. First, this is an exciting event for me to be a part of, and I want you all to hear about how it goes. The second reason is that I think Newsvine should increasingly be a part of major events such as this, and for the community to play some part in it.

At the end of the event, the panelists will participate in a Q&A session. Are any of you interested in submitting questions for the panelists in relation to China? If so, let me know. I'd love to have you all participate in the event.

Also, there is a possibility that we may be able to provide a live stream of the event to anyone that wants to watch it. I am not sure if this will happen, but would any of you be interested in that?

Do you have any other ideas, or cool things that could be done?

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.
