WCIT PRESENTS: PNW – China Trade Discussion

Just five years ago, China was Washington state’s top trading partner, accounting for over 20% of the state’s exports. Tensions between the U.S. and China have resulted in tariffs and retaliatory measures adversely impacting the state’s diverse exports – everything from dairy to aerospace, auto parts to seafood, and high tech to apples, cherries and wheat. WCIT is hosting a discussion on the economic and trade linkages between the Pacific Northwest and China and the related challenges. The program will feature leading experts on the evolving trade relationship and their prognostications for the future.

Speakers include:

Spencer Cohen, High Peak Strategy, LLC

Yeling Tan, Assistant Professor of Political Science, University of Oregon 

John Melin, President & Chief Executive Officer, Brown & Haley
