Can San Francisco forge a new One Belt One Road with China? Cross-border trade and investment between the Bay Area and Asia

One Belt One Road is the centerpiece of the economic development plan for China. The initiative links trade and investment with a huge swath of the world west of China. It is not directed at the U.S., but businesses in the San Francisco Bay Area can forge their own links to establish a robust and prosperous path to the world’s second-largest economy.

Join China experts from our region as they discuss the current state of investment from China into the Bay Area, and how local companies have formed and nurtured their own commercial links.
