The first conference titled "The Evolving Role of Technology in China's International Relations" will be held on April 3 and 4 at the Tempe campus of Arizona State University. I hope to have an in-depth understanding of China’s foreign scientific and technological cooperation from multiple perspectives, and to understand the positive role that key scientific and technological fields play internally in the process of developing global cooperation.

Vice Provost of the Office of International Strategy at Arizona State University said: "In addition to participating in bilateral relations with the United States in the field of science and technology, China also shares similar cooperation with other countries." "In this meeting, we hope to get a comprehensive view and explanation of how these relationships affect China's scientific and technological development; how China will shape the international R&D system in the next few years."

Cooperation with China will become a model for ASU, forming a more meaningful cooperative relationship that focuses on R&D, such as student training. There are currently 2,500 Chinese undergraduate and graduate students in ASU. In addition to launching accelerated international degree programs, ASU also has a cooperation center with Sichuan University to spread American culture. The Confucius Institute at ASU also actively develops Chinese language education and cultural dissemination. The focus in China is no longer on cheap labor, but on the rising power of China’s intellectual workers. Some people refer to the "threat theory" of China. However, China's rising international status has provided the United States with more strategic opportunities and formed important cooperative partnerships.

The two-day conference will invite experts and scholars from well-known universities such as the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tsinghua University, the University of California, the University of Oregon, and the University of Michigan. Researchers from Japan, Russia, and Australia who are concerned about China's scientific and technological development will also participate in the event.

This event is not open to the public. Media are welcome to register and participate. This is the first major event on China's science and technology relations held overseas.
