Ft McNair, Washington D.C. -- The China Aerospace Studies Institute (CASI) Joins NCUSR's Nationwide Live Event on China, October 9 at 16:30 at National Defense University.
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will talk to audiences (webcast) in 100+ locations across the United States during the 12th annual CHINA Town Hall on October 9. The two-part event, sponsored by the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations and CASI, features an on-site discussion with retired Admiral Samuel Locklear, former Commander of the U.S. Pacific Command, and an interactive webcast discussion and Q&A with Secretary Rice on the complex Sino-American relationship.

CHINA Town Hall will help audiences around the country understand the challenges and opportunities of what has been characterized as the most important bilateral relationship of the 21st century.
