China Town Hall: Local Connections, National Reflections
Henry A. Kissinger is the national simulcast speaker for the 10th annual China Town Hall. While national security advisor, Kissinger played a crucial role in arranging President Nixon’s 1972 visit to China, which opened the door to the re-establishment of US-China relations. Following Kissinger’s simulcast presentation, Kristen McDonald, China program director of Pacific Environment (PE), will give a live talk on the environmental sharing of planet Earth with China. She leads the efforts of PE, which is focused on protecting the living environment of the Pacific Rim, to address pollution and build strong and effective grassroots environmental organizations in China. McDonald received her PhD from the University of California at Berkeley in Environmental Science, Policy and Management, and is the founder and former director of the China Rivers Project, which works to expand river ecotourism and conservation in China. China Town Hall is a national day of programming presented by the National Committee on US-China Relations, designed to provide Americans across the US the opportunity to discuss issues with leading experts.
