http://china.usc.edu/ShowArticle.aspx?articleID=999 Clark Randt, Jr. is America's longest serving ambassador to China. He was appointed U.S. Ambassador by President George W. Bush in 2001, just following an international headline-making incident involving the collision of a U.S. Navy reconnaissance plane and a Chinese jet fighter. During this tenure, Ambassador Randt has worked to mend ties, address trade frictions, secure compliance with World Trade Organization standards, and to foster cooperation on a wide range of critical issues including battling terrorism, halting the proliferation of nuclear weapons, protecting the environment, and defending intellectual property rights. Since 2001, China has undergone a leadership transition and is facing enormous problems, most recently political unrest in and near Tibet. Some worry that those domestic challenges could affect China’s foreign relations. Ambassador Randt takes on these and other questions in this presentation. Before becoming ambassador, Clark Randt spent thirty years as an Asia-based lawyer doing business in China. He headed Shearman & Sterling’s China practice, is a member of the New York and Hong Kong bars and is a recognized expert on Chinese law. He previously served in the Beijing embassy as First Secretary and Commercial Attache (1982-84) and is a former Governor and First Vice President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong. Randt earned his bachelor degree at Yale University (1968) and his juris doctor degree at the University of Michigan (1975). USC U.S.-China Institute http://china.usc.edu |
