Updates

We have had some challenges to overcome, but that happens every year. We are sponsored by the Asian Pacific Trade Group, and we are currently seeking other sponsors.

The event will run 3 days:

Friday evening meet and greet, followed by a film, Saturday, full day, Sunday we will provide a non-denominational service, followed by round tables in the afternoon and a closing banquet with entertainment.

The entire event is a fundraiser for the global grove project which provides housing and food.

Don Eads, the founder of the 21st Century China Symposium, is currently in International Cultural Studies at the East West Center. His son, Hoku, is attending college at 15. They have lived in China part of the year since 1999. They work with Tony Robbins as International Coordinator

Daniel Piccuta

Fifth Annual 21st Century China Symposium
July 17-19
Sponsored by Asian Pacific Trade Group

I had the distinct privilege of spending a lot of time with Dan Piccuta our ambassador at the US Embassy in Beijing. This is another indicator of the new era we are in. This guy is super sharp, understands Mandarin well, and he is a bright spot for the future of US-China Relations.

We are working out schedules to have him speak, possibly at the Fifth Annual 21st Century China Symposium on July 17-19 at the East West Center. This is going to be a great event. We are talking with Andy Bumatai, a famous local comedian, about performing and we are actively looking for more sponsors.

The symposium will be live streamed and interactive, meaning where ever you are in the world as long as you are connected to the Internet, you can participate.

Peoples University Main Gate: Early Morning in Beijing

21st Century China Symposium in Hawaii

Purple Forbidden City at Night

Hawaii and China have always shared a special relationship. This summer is the perfect time to come to the East West Center and learn more about both places. Our symposium is an exposition of the latest information about China combined with Hawaiian aloha. What a perfect combination. If you book early, you can stay at the East West Center and be right in the center of the action, but hurry. Space is limited.

China and the United States

Former US Congressman Ed Case, wife Audrey, and Don Eads discuss China-US Relations.

This is perhaps the defining relationship of the 21st century. If China and the US get it right, then the world will be a different place than if either side drops the ball. For the past 35 years of my life, I have been riveted on this relationship and the implications. That is what the Fifth Annual 21st Century China Symposium is all about.

When I first went to China to teach and minister, I realized all of the book learning does not really givce an accurate picture. I think the same thing applies to Chinese coming to Hawaii and America. One of the primary goals of our 3-day event is to help both sides understand each other better, especially within the context of Hawaii and Asia Pacific relations on all levels.

In the past we have had tremendous speakers and presentations, including former Mayor of Hawaii Harry Kim, who totally supports us. Professors from Hawaii and China have had the opportunity to air their views and meet each other. Graduate students have presented papers and shared their experiences. We have had wonderful entertainment and shared meals together.



2009 promises to be even better. This year we are doing the events on Oahu from July 17-19. Plan now to be an integral part of this growing China-US cooperation event. Learn about 21st Century China from experts who can help us all understand our relationship with the Land of the Dragon better.

Aloha,



Don Eads
