BROWN CHINA SUMMIT

Brown China Summit is an annual China conference held at Brown University over two days in March. Since our inaugural summit in 2014, we have brought thousands of Brown students into conversation with a diverse group of speakers—thought leaders, business leaders, policymakers, etc.—to highlight trends and discuss issues critical not only to China but to the rest of the world.

布朗中国峰会是在布朗大学举办的一年一度的中国会议,历时两天,通常在三月举行。自从我们的首次峰会在2014年举办以来,我们已经吸引了数千名布朗学生与一群多元化的演讲者——思想领袖、商界领袖、政策制定者等——进行对话,以突出中国乃至全球的趋势并讨论对全世界都至关重要的问题。
