Global Business Club of Mid-Michigan: TikTok, WeChat & More: Talking Tech and IP in the U.S. & China

February 17, 2021

Speaker Panel presentation

The U.S. and China compete for global dominance in the areas of tech and innovation; however, in an era of global firms and global citizens they must also learn to cooperate. The U.S. espouses free speech while the Trump administration pushed for banning social media platforms like TikTok and WeChat. China wants to be taken seriously as a global player but is often seen as disregarding global standards and norms. How can these two superpowers find common ground? This program is organized as part of our China & The World program series, organized in conjunction with MSU Asian Studies Center and MSU Office of China Programs.

The Global Business Club of Mid-Michigan focuses on global issues of interest to the mid-Michigan business community. The monthly GB Club luncheons provide outstanding speakers and relaxed networking opportunities. With extensive international experience, the speakers wrap personal insights around a practical and up-to-the-minute approach to conducting international trade.
