  • Raising Children to be Fluent in Chinese

    • June 24, 2026
    • 8:00 PM
    • Zoom
    Register

    Raising bilingual children is a challenge, but is particularly difficult for Chinese given its written language. There is no silver bullet, and many variables: location, school availability, parental goals, etc. This discussion will be centered around two questions we all face: 1) what is our true objective for our children’s fluency level, and 2) how strict do we want to be, and when do we let go? Amongst us are many with experience and this is a chance to share what has worked (and what has not). Alums from all language groups are welcome.

    Kindly facilitated by Davin A. Mackenzie ‘89 & Ellene Hu ’03.

    This virtual gathering will be held June 24th at 8:00 PM ET / June 25th at 8:00 AM Beijing Time.

    Registrants will receive a confirmation email containing the zoom link.

  • AI Rivalry between China and the USA – Innovation, Regulation, Governance, and Ethics

    • September 09, 2026
    • 9:00 PM
    • Zoom
    Register

    The AI rivalry between China and the USA is a story of consequential geopolitical, regulatory, and business strategy dimensions. For example, Meta's recently attempted $2B acquisition of Manus, a Chinese-founded AI agent company that relocated to Singapore. The government in Beijing blocked what they viewed as a showcase of Chinese AI capability landing in American hands. Furthermore, while the US is widely regarded the leader in AI model development, Meta looked to Singapore/China for agentic AI innovation.

    Prof. Kevin Werbach is Wharton’s leading expert on the comparative landscape of AI in China and the USA. He leads the Wharton Global Modular Course “Tech and AI in China” on-site in Beijing and Hangzhou, focusing on China’s rapid AI innovation. The course features company visits, expert meetings, and analysis of China's unique AI regulatory and business environment.


    This webinar will be held September 9th at 9:00 PM ET / September 10th at 9:00 AM Beijing Time.
