How do identity and free expression operate in today's China? What are the risks and methods of reporting on different perspectives in China? 

Please join the CSIS Trustee Chair in Chinese Business and Economics for an online event featuring Emily Feng of NPR, the author of Let Only Red Flowers Bloom: Identity and Belonging in Xi Jinping's China. Feng will talk about her experiences as a journalist in China, including the extensive reporting she did for her book on over two dozen individuals facing challenges related to identity, language, and civil liberties. Following the introduction of her book, CSIS Trustee Chair Scott Kennedy will lead a conversation the political and economic implications of Feng's research for China and U.S.-China relations with panelists Michael Szonyi of Harvard University, veteran China reporter Lucy Hornby, and Mark Dreyer of the American Chamber of Commerce in China. 

This event is made possible by generous support to CSIS.
