About 100 people attended the event.

Experts & CEOs discuss how recent U.S.-China hostile trade tactics—new tariffs, investment restrictions, and other business barriers—are creating tremendous tensions for local businesses. Since California has benefited more than any other state from China trade and investment, local firms also stand to lose the most in a trade war.

Especially at risk is the SoCal goods movement industry (ports) where high-paying jobs are common. Is a full-blown trade war inevitable? Clayton Dube, Director of USC’s famed US-China Institute, will moderate the timely discussion in Long Beach.
