International Banker (retired)

Dinner Lecture

Overview

The U.S.-China relationship faces major challenges as the two nations pursue their respective objectives. Comments in the press are often erroneous and various aspects of the relationship do not get the attention they deserve. In this illustrated presentation Michael Ipson provides an up-to-date outline of the complexities of interactions between the United States and China. He will explore the benefits and challenges for each country, ranging from immigration and education to financial markets, investments and trade.

Michael Ipson is a China specialist and retired international banker. As a commercial banker he lived and worked in Hong Kong for over 20 years with Chemical Bank (now incorporated into JP Morgan). He subsequently spent 5 years in Beijing with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group. He earned a BA from UC Berkeley, an MA in East Asian Regional Studies from Stanford, and an MBA from DePaul University.
