Speakers will explore how legal teams navigate the complex dynamics between U.S. regulatory environments and the business\, operational\, and governance priorities of headquarters in China. \n\nThurs\, April 2\n\nRegistration\n09:30 AM – 10:30 AM \nGrab a conference program and a pastry! \n\n\nMaritime Security in the South China Sea: U.S. and Philippine Perspectives (WCC B010)\n10:30 AM – 11:30 AM \n\nAndrew Erickson\, Professor at U.S. Naval War College\n\n\n\n\nJacqueline Espenilla\, Professor at U of the Philippines\nJames Kraska\, Professor at U.S. Naval War College\nAndrew Loewenstein\, Partner at Foley Hoag\n\nThis panel examines the legal and strategic dimensions of maritime security in the South China Sea\, bringing together leading scholars and practitioners to explore one of the world’s most consequential regional disputes from the Filipino and American perspectives.

They are also each other’s largest trading partners. Yet\, over the past decade\, their trade relationship has faced steep challenges characterised by an ongoing trade war\, intense strategic competition\, and geopolitical tensions. Gathering experts on international trade and policy\, this panel looks into the history and future of U.S.-China trade relations under the current presidential administration\, as well as its implications for law students and the broader Asian legal community interested in practicing in that region. \n \n\n\n\nFrom Comparison to Conversation: Asia’s Role in Global AI Regulation (WCC 1019)\n06:30 PM – 07:30 PM \n\n\n\nAnupam Chander\, Professor of Law and Technology at Georgetown Law\nUrs Gasser\, Chair of Thailand’s AI Policy Panel\nRui Guo\, Visiting Scholar\, HLS East Asian Legal Studies and Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\n\nDiscussions of AI regulation often revolve around comparisons to a perceived global benchmark\, with the EU AI Act positioned as the leading model. This panel shifts the lens. We explore what can be learned from the wide range of AI governance strategies developing across Asia. Governments in the region are experimenting with diverse regulatory tools\, institutional structures\, and policy priorities that reflect their unique social\, economic\, and technological contexts. By bringing these approaches into conversation\, the panel aims to broaden the global regulatory dialogue and surface insights that may otherwise be overlooked in Eurocentric or single-model comparisons. \n\n\nReception – Stoked Pizza\n08:00 PM – 10:00 PM \n\nCelebrate the close of the Harvard Asia Law Conference II with pizza\, apps\, and drinks! Mingle with fellow participants in speakers with shared interest in Asian legal practice.

SUMMARY:HILJ-YJIL-Oxford Symposium: China and the International Legal Order
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Symposium \nHILJ-YJIL-Oxford \nOctober 15\, 2020  \nAs deglobalization deepens in centers of capitalism in the North and the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbates tensions between the U.S. and China\, China continues to promote its version of economic globalization\, particularly through emergent markets in much of the South. Chinese globalization consists of trade and global value chains\, investment and development finance\, and hard and soft infrastructure—including digital infrastructures—promoted by Chinese and multilateral development banks\, SOEs and privately-owned companies\, and internationalizing professional services like law firms. China is providing much-needed capital\, health aid\, and expertise to many regions of the world. At the same time\, scholars suggest that “state capital\,” which differs from private capital\, catalyzes this form of globalization\, meaning that outbound capital flows are aligned with the interests of the party-state. Along these lines\, China is increasing active not only in existing multilateral legal organizations and financial institutions\, such as the WTO\, WHO\, UN\, ISO\, but is also establishing its own parallel platforms including the Shanghai Cooperation Organization\, Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank\, eWTP\, World Internet Conference\, and the Belt and Road Initiative. Chinese development banks have\, in recent years\, provided more overseas lending than the World Bank and the IMF combined. China’s technology companies are the largest in the world and providing e-commerce and telecommunications facilities\, including 5G\, through the “Digital Silk Road.” These developments have significant consequences for global health governance\, supply chains\, labor and environmental rights\, privacy\, security\, and freedom of speech. State response to the coronavirus pandemic has done little to create consensus around these issues and the interstate system appears to be shifting around two emergent spheres of influence—that of China and the U.S. It is at this current turning point that we convene this symposium to examine how a globalizing China is shaping or otherwise influencing the international legal order\, one that has been allegedly designed by and for private capital from the global North\, and conversely\, how existing international legal institutions\, Western states\, and “Belt and Road” partner states are responding to an ascendant China. \nThis symposium\, a unique collaboration between ​Harvard International Law Journal​\, Yale Journal of International Law\,​ and the “China\, Law and Development” project and the Commercial Law Centre\, both at the University of Oxford\, features scholars from not only the U.S. and China but also Hong Kong\, Singapore\, the U.K.\, and Brazil. The symposium highlights the scholarship of not just established scholars\, but also junior scholars\, and law students\, as well\, including one panel devoted to law students. The symposium is aimed at opening up intellectual exchange about China’s relationship to the changing international legal order\, including\, centrally\, the U.S.-China relationship\, and also additional states that have strong economic\, legal\, and security ties with China. \n5:00 PM – 5:30 PM\nOpening Remarks\nMatthew S.
