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!

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.
I thought this session with Michael Pillsbury was the most informative and insightful discussions I've seen at the World Affairs Council. Michael Pillsbury and Gordon Chang are the pre-eminent American scholars and experts on China. Both have served multiple presidents from both parties. I learned much from listening today, thank you. Excellent presentation.
Additionally, thanks to Becky for reading my question. I've asked questions before but this was the first time my question was presented - thank you.

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.

Excellent and insightful.

Chuck, remember you can see the recorded version of the entire presentation under the tab "in case you missed it".

Thank you for the terrific presentation. Brilliant speaker. I hope we invite him back again!

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!

On behalf of our entire programs team, we appreciate your comments, Joan. And thank you for your continuing support of what we are striving every day to accomplish - bringing informed perspectives on global and national affairs to the Desert.

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.

Moreover, he is indeed an expert on the China subject, a true professional, with a wealth of knowledge regarding the East Asia/Pacific Region, and an ability to explain it all in plain terms. We look forward to future WACD sessions with him, and trust that the new administration will take heed of his advice and counsel in a balanced manner.

Lance, please see my reply to Chuck Porter.
