On behalf of Global China Connection we sincerely  invite you to our 5th Global China Connection Annual Conference at Columbia on April 27!  Global China Connection - Columbia Chapter is a student-run organization dedicated to fostering deep and trusting personal relationships among Chinese and non-Chinese university students.

On April 27, 2013, we will host our fifth annual conference at Columbia University in New York City, entitled "Soft Power and Hard Currencies：Balancing Politics, Culture and Economics”. This forum will analyze China's development through two lenses：the hard currencies and economic potential, as well as the "soft power" of China, including the cultural, political, and social aspects.

Our panelists will include Prof. Lv Xiaobo, member of Committee of 100, Prof. Myron Cohen, Director of Columbia Weatherhead East Asian Institute, and Jennifer Wen Ma, member of Creative Committee of Beijing Olympics Opening and Closing Ceremonies and Emmy Award Winner.

The panels include:

3. Investing in China：Start-up, Venture Capital and Private Equity

We cordially invite you to join us on April 27 in New York. Attending this event will be a unique opportunity to learn more about China’s increasing impact on the rest of the world as well as to meet hundreds of like-minded students and professionals.
