'Vining from a Live U.S.-China Business Videoconference

Whittier College campus, overlooking the library and Hoover Hall.

Last month I announced that I will be blogging on Newsvine a live video conference of U.S. and Chinese business experts, one panel in the U.S. and one in China, on the future of U.S.-Chinese business relations. This videoconference is next week, and I want you to participate.

At the very least, if you are interested in the event, you can follow my blogging of it as it happens next Wednesday, September 26th, at 7:30 PM Pacific time. This is something I have been working on for a few months, and I am very excited about it. I want to get Newsvine involved.

Since not many people looked at the last article, here is a brief description of the event:

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.

Since the event is being videoconferenced over the Internet, I am working to see if we can get a feed of it available to anyone who wants to view it. I am not sure this will be possible, but I am crossing my fingers.

As I wrote last month, this event will have a Q&A session from the audience for the U.S. and Chinese panels. I would love to be able to have you any of you interested ask the panelists questions on any topic between U.S. and Chinese relations that you find interesting and necessary for discussion.

I am not sure how much interest this will engender, but I hope it does. Please submit any questions you want to ask of the panels here in the comments section, and specify which panel (U.S. or Chinese) you want it to be directed toward.
