The National Committee on U.S.-China Relations on Tuesday, Oct. 19 at 4 p.m. AZ/MST (7 p.m. EDT) will host the virtual event and Q&A with one of America's leading foreign policy commentators, CNN host and best-selling author, Fareed Zakaria, as he examines the challenges and opportunities for both countries as they confront the most critical issues of the 21st century.
