New national data reveals bipartisan public support for U.S.–China cooperation and growing concern that rising tensions are hurting Chinese Americans.

Committee of 100 partnered with NORC at the University of Chicago, one of the nation’s largest independent social research organizations, to conduct its third annual State of Chinese Americans Survey. This one-of-a-kind national survey examines U.S. public views on issues affecting Chinese Americans, building on insights from the previous two surveys. The research focuses on the cultural, health, and sociopolitical situations of today’s Chinese American population.

Join us for the launch of the first in a four-part series featuring national data on Americans’ views of U.S.–China relations, related domestic policies, and their impact on Chinese Americans. Our panelists will explore how public opinion, policy choices, and societal attitudes shape the Chinese American experience:

• Sam Collitt, Research and Data Scientist at Committee of 100
• Madeline Y. Hsu, Professor of History at University of Maryland, College Park
• Ian Shin, Assistant Professor of History and American Culture at University of Michigan
• Sheryl WuDunn, Executive, Lecturer and Pulitzer Prize-Winning Journalist

Designed for policymakers, journalists, researchers, and community leaders, this webinar unpacks how Americans’ views of U.S.–China relations shape Chinese American experiences and offers data-driven insights to inform policy, reporting, and community action.
