One of the most timely & fascinating speakers we have had. I learned a considerable amount of the challenges we face in our dealings with China & what to possibly anticipate with the changing of our leadership. Thank you!

Great presentation. I liked the longer presentation by Dr Pillsbury while still giving us time for a good Q&A.

First, I'd like to thank Bob Garrott, one of your members, for inviting me again. Secondly, thanks also to Linda Borses for allowing me to register, although I've been a guest previously.

Michael Pillsbury gave us a wonderful account of the history of Chinese-American relations. A wake-up call to all Americans. His story-telling method was fascinating and what made it more amazing was that he experienced a lot of it first-hand. Thank you, Mr Pillsbury and thank you WACD for another great program!

Fantastic presentation!!! I loved Mr. Pillsbury's even keeled analysis of our political stance in regard to a very complex society, global competitor, political and financial challenger. I know China well but felt like an amateur listening to this guru. One of the best talks I have heard. Thank you.

An interesting and informative speaker with a "folksy" presentation.

We were so sorry to be late signing in because he was a tremendous speaker with a significant depth of knowledge and very apolitical to boot. His extra 15 minutes were greatly appreciated

I thought MP really enjoyed what he was doing and answered all the questions in a detailed yet straight forward manner.

ONE OF THE BEST PROGRAMS WE EVER HAD. DR. PILLSBURY IS SO VERY PERSONABLE AND SMART, WITH A CHARMING TOUCH OF HUMOR. HE KEPT THE AUDIENCE WANTING MORE. BY ALL MEANS, HAVE HIM BACK WHEN WE ARE ABLE TO GATHER!

Dr. Pillsbury was fantastic! So much new information about US-China relations, along with his thoughts on what the future might hold. I am in awe of his knowledge and thankful he will continue on in the Biden administration.

We could have spent two hours with Dr. Pillsbury on the background and issues of US-China relations. His value added is knowing the historical background and surrounding objectives of the two countries for the past 60 years, allowing him to bridge the time gap and help the audience better understand the current state of affairs.

I apologize for missing the first 1/2 hr. of Mr. Pillsbury’s talk. A client requested a showing on short notice of a South Palm Desert property and, not yet being retired, my clients must always come first.
