About the Event:
This online talk explores how geopolitical developments—from the Opium Wars and the Burlingame Treaty to Cold War politics and contemporary tensions—have impacted Chinese American communities, immigration policy, and race relations in the U.S. With anti-Asian sentiment on the rise and US-China relations under strain, Professor Harvey Dong brings historical perspective to today’s headlines.
