There are many ways to study Sino-American relations, yet no perspective is more penetrating and more objective than the lens of sports. In this talk, Professor Xu will examine the shared history between Chinese and Americans from 1872 to this moment by focusing on their sport activities and exchanges. This innovative perspective will bring us a fresh and new understanding towards the complicated history of Sino-American relations. This webinar is co-organized by the Carter Center and the China Research Center of Atlanta. The media partner is Eagle-Dragon Television.
