About the Panelists
As Beijing bureau chief for the L.A. Times, Julie Makinen chronicled democracy protests in Hong Kong and the plight of earthquake victims in Nepal. She is on the board of the Foreign Correspondents' Club of China, and is chair of its Media Freedoms Committee, which tracks and publicizes Chinese government efforts to restrict coverage of certain topics by threatening, harassing, and intimidating foreign journalists. She recently completed a Knight Journalism Fellowship at Stanford University.
After graduating with a degree in Middle Eastern history from Princeton University, Jonathan Karp started his career as foreign correspondent with Reuters in Israel. His reporting has taken him to Hong Kong with the Far Eastern Economic Review and India with the Wall Street Journal. Today, he leads Asia Society Southern California and remains close to China with their annual U.S.-China Film Summit.
A second generation Korean American, May Lee faced gender discrimination and anti-Asian bias early in her career, and spent the 1980s moving between local broadcasters. In 1995, she joined CNN and worked as a correspondent in Tokyo and Hong Kong, and later became the network's first female anchor of Korean descent. She also worked in the Asia-Pacific region as an anchor for The Asia Wall Street Journal and CNBC. She became the L.A. correspondent for CCTV-America in 2014.
An information session about joining US-China Today will follow at 6pm in ASC G24.

China, not unlike the United States, confronts enormous challenges. These include deadly environmental degradation, a rapidly aging population, a skills mismatch between what graduates can do and what employers seek, widespread official corruption, regional and intraregional inequality, and low labor and capital productivity.
Often conferences merely document such problems without exploring in concrete terms what businesses, non-profit organizations, and government agencies are doing to address them. Our China：Finding Solutions conference won't minimize the size and complexity of such problems, but it will highlight how individuals and institutions are battling them. Our panelists will include distinguished scholars, entrepreneurs, organization leaders, and officials. We invite you to be a part of the discussion.
Space is limited. Register now online or mail in your registration （please include the check, your name, email, and address）to secure your seat and to save money.
Registration（includes the admission, conference goodies, refreshments, and lunch）:
General
Early bird registration $75
After September 30 $125
Students （must submit photo of student ID to uschina@usc.edu）
Early bird registration $25

The first 50 people to register will receive a USC U.S.-China Institute anniversary mug!
