Dear Members and Friends of SwissCham,

SwissCham Beijing is delighted to invite you to our supported "Staying in Dialogue with China​" webinar series - "Dealing with Trump 2.0 – is China making tactical or strategic adjustments in view of the 15th Five-Year-Plan (period)?" which will take place on February 26 at 4pm.

In the first webinar of the 2025 edition of the "Staying in Dialogue with China" webinar series (https://www.chinamacro.ch/webinar​) which is this time dedicated to the theme of China's next and upcoming 15th Five-Year-Plan (2026-2030), we look forward to talking to Prof. DA Wei, Director of the Center for International Security and Strategy (CISS) and Professor of International Relations at Tsinghua University in Beijing.

Key themes we want to discuss with Prof. DA include:

• US-China interactions since Trump's election and how Beijing sees Trump 2.0
• China's response to deal with Trump 2.0 strategically – domestically and in foreign affairs
• Collaboration in helping to mediate in and settle Russia's war with Ukraine
• Possibility of strategic US-China dealmaking, and what are the respective "gives"
• Likely key political topics poised to bring continued or new frictions in bilateral relationship
• Contours of the future US-China trade relationship and tech competition
• Compatibility of "Make America great again" with China's idea of national rejuvenation

This webinar will be moderated by Markus Herrmann Chen, Co-Founder and Managing Director of CMG. Take the opportunity to listen in and ask your questions to Prof. DA.

This webinar will not be recorded, but a transcript will be published following the webinar.

With best regards,

Your SwissCham Team
