Conference Theme:

In 2020, the wild spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified frictions in global economy and world trade. The disputes between U.S. and China has rapidly expanded from trade to high-tech and finance. Risks and uncertainty in global supply chain and financial system are growing. 

We held the first and the second "Conference on International Trade Disputes and Globalization Reconstruction" in December 2018 and in December 2019. The conference has become the most influential and the only academic annual meeting focusing on US-China trade disputes in China. 

This year the conference will be held in December 4-6. We aim to bring together academic and policy researchers and practitioners to carry out all-round and multi-angle development on a variety of issues. The conference will study and exchange facts and analytical frameworks, promote academic research and finally, offer policy suggestions.
