Events
GCC events connect companies, social organizations, and individuals through annual conferences as well as smaller scale forums. The organization hosts two major conferences each year, generally in New York City (spring) and Beijing (summer). Conferences contain discussion on subjects such as politics, business, journalism, and culture related to China. Smaller conferences and events are also hosted by chapters within GCC.
Previous speakers at GCC conferences include:
Stephen Roach, chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia
Orville Schell, director of the Asia Society's Center on U.S. China-Relations
Susan Shirk, former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State
Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Prize-winning economist and Columbia University professor
Bai Yansong, CCTV anchor
The smaller forums are based on subjects such as China's sustainable development/environmental protection challenges; the stimulus packages passed by China and the U.S.; the current state of the American media; U.S.-China relations; and China's developing capital markets.

—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Whatever events in progress shall disgust men with cities, and infuse into them the passion for country life, and country pleasures, will render a service to the whole face of this continent, and will further the most poetic of all the occupations of real life, the bringing out by art the native but hidden graces of the landscape.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
