As we enter a new era of heightened social, cultural, economic, and political tension between the United States and China of which the COVID-19 pandemic blame game and on-going trade war are but symptoms of a much broader conflict, are Chinese-Americans going to be, if not already, caught in the middle?  Join us for enlightening online discussion with distinguished law professor and prominent Chinese-American civil rights expert as he draws upon his wealth of knowledge on this complex issue to tackle this question.
