Initiated in 2007, the Program is an educational opportunity for influential American thought leaders to witness China’s developments and challenges first-hand. In China, delegates engage in dialogue with C-100 members, China’s leading experts on international relations, journalists, government officials, artists, entrepreneurs, and students.

The 2012 Leadership Delegation members were Clive Crook, Senior Editor of The Atlantic; Brian Lehrer, Host of WNYC’s “The Brian Lehrer Show”; Winnie O’Kelley, Deputy Business Editor of the New York Times; Gary Silverman, U.S. News Editor and Deputy Managing Editor of Financial Times; and Jonathan Tepperman, Managing Editor of Foreign Affairs.

Alumni of the Leadership Delegation Program also attended the discussion: Nicholas Goldberg (2011), Editorial Pages Editor of the Los Angeles Times, and Laura Walker (May 2012), President and CEO of New York Public Radio.
