Seattle Launch: Discussion with Bill Gates, Kevin Rudd, Gary Rieschel, Daniel Russel, Lingling Wei

Seattle, September 12, 2023 - Asia Society Seattle celebrates its momentous launch. Over 200 guests from the local community, and leadership from Asia Society New York, Northern California, and Southern California, gather at the Seattle Asian Art Museum to commemorate the launch and collective vision of navigating shared futures with Asia in the Pacific Northwest through cultural exchange, economic ties, and public policy engagement on various issues of great importance.
In an all-star panel discussion, Bill Gates, Co-Chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Founder of Breakthrough Energy; Kevin Rudd, Australia’s Ambassador to the United States and former Australia Prime Minister; Gary Rieschel, Chairman of Asia Society Northern California and Asia Society Seattle; and Daniel Russel, Vice President for International Security and Diplomacy at the Asia Society Policy Institute, explore potential future trajectories of the U.S.-China relationship.
Panelists delve into issues including China’s economy, investment in China, and the technological competition between the two countries. Gates also shares insights into the Gates Foundation’s work in China and his meeting with China’s President Xi in April, where they discussed collaboration on fighting pandemics and developing low-cost vaccines.
The discussion is moderated by Lingling Wei, Chief China Correspondent at the Wall Street Journal.

If I was to pose a question to these gentlemen it would be that most of what they discussed was focused on the geopolitical and technological struggle between the U.S. & China in the current and near future in terms of peacetime. My question is what ramifications will there be geopolitically and technologically ( given that cyber/ software acts ‘like water’ in a world at war? Assuming we don’t self exterminate

Talk Your Security How Your Security Looks like When Uganda Move This Country. When Arsinal Growing And Getting Most Weapons From The Government While They Have Relationship With Part Of Government It Self. And They Collecting The Youth In Every Region. This Serious Upcoming Topic You Are Ignoring. Let Wait That Limited Time . How Your Security Will Be . While Government And Arsinal Are Sharing The Programs And Inside The Government. .

[@ducaleadan39]

It Is Unfortunately To Talk About This Topic Wwhy He Was Doing ? He Understood The Challenges In Africa And India Japan , . To Say Every Night Has No Any Sence. This Forbidden In This Country It So Serious According to Our Religion Culture. Arsinal Is Better than us. So Forget This Topics.

[@ducaleadan39]

What Ever You Know That You Have Been Rejected No To Repeat Every Night. Why It Was Rejected? This Question Must Not Continue Every Night. It Has Been Rejected It Has been Rejected. It Has Been Rejected. . Go Where You Can Get . But Don't Repeat The What I Watched . . It Is Unwise to Repeat Every Night.

The mediator was quite a bit awkward, as the guests didn't have the same response/reaction as she did, just a bit too biased and tried too hard to influence a serious or objective discussion.

Who the hell is Lingling Wei, she bent her knees to western countries.

[@user-gd4wt6oi7y]

all western Nations are same... hardly any difference of their running, systems, called crony circles. so what is this discussion about? China has been developed by crony circles for all sorts of small goods market and some tech also as in assembly line work of assembling products, which they have captured worldwide for the products they deliver.

[@scottcurtis5322]

Please don't put any weight on what Rudd says. He has been wrong about China a lot.
