President Obama and President Xi Jinping of China held a major meeting in June at Sunnylands, the historic Annenberg estate in Rancho Mirage, California. The meeting was hailed as "the most important meeting between an American president and a Chinese leader in 40 years, since Nixon and Mao." However, the meeting also drew widely disparate coverage in the domestic and international press and became the focus of attention in the popular culture in both nations. Join journalism school director Michael Parks for a conversation with Geoffrey Cowan, director of USC Annenberg's Center on Communication Leadership & Policy and president of The Annenberg Retreat at Sunnylands, Clayton Dube, director of the 

USC U.S. - China Institute, a program of USC Annenberg, other special guests to examine the media coverage and other behind the scenes details of the superpower summit.

This event is co-sponsored by the USC Annenberg Center on Communication Leadership & Policy and the USC US - China Institute. Lunch will be served.
