Duke-UNC China Leadership Summit (CLS) is an annual student-run conference at Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) that works to promote a greater understanding of China in a collaborative environment from which delegates can emerge with resources and friendships as future leaders in U.S.-China relations. 

Now entering its 10th anniversary, the upcoming conference will take place on February 21-23, 2020 with the theme “Reframing China: Past, Present, Future”. At a time when the rhetoric in Washington towards Beijing increasingly employs the framework of great-power rivalry, we seek to examine the profound underlying changes in the bilateral relationship. More importantly, we want to encourage CLS attendees to go beyond the headline narratives and pursue a deeper view of China that understands how the country’s complex historical, cultural and societal conditions shape where we stand now. The three days of the conference will focus on “past,” “present” and “future” respectively to develop a holistic and nuanced perspective on China and U.S.-China relations.
