Bridging the Asia-Pacific for Young People

The webinar ‘Bridging the Asia-Pacific for Young People' featured two experts in Asian-Pacific affairs, Rui Zhong and Wayne Morrison, who provided a broad reflection and overview of the current state and future trajectory of U.S. engagement in the region and the ways in which youth can conceptualize the impacts of regional issues at a personal level. This webinar focused on various topics - such as trade, intellectual property rights, and human rights - discussing how these issues affect all nations involved in the region and the ways in which young people should conceptualize and understand these issues to advance the interests of both the United States and the Asia-Pacific region as global citizens.
