The coronavirus continues to devastate lives across the world and 
stopping it must be the top priority for humanity. This global crisis 
requires global cooperation and learning from one another to help us 
defeat this virus.To discuss this, we are hosting a live online seminar 
with John Ross, Senior Fellow Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies, 
Renmin University of China. The seminar will be chaired by peace 
campaigner Kate Hudson.

The seminar will address the following questions:

  * How did China bring a major coronavirus outbreak under control?
  * What can the US, Britain and countries in Europe learn from China’s
    response to the pandemic?
  * What can developing countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia
    learn from China in combating the spread of COVID-19?

Everyone is welcome to join the seminar. There will be a presentation 
from Senior Fellow John Ross, followed by a live Q&A. The seminar will 
last for 1 hour.
