National Committee on U.S.-China Relations Holds 2026 Gala in New York on November 10: Bessent Keynotes, Ambassador Xie Feng to Speak
The National Committee on U.S.-China Relations (NCUSCR) will hold its annual Gala Dinner on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, in New York City, honoring Stephen A. Schwarzman, chairman, CEO and co-founder of Blackstone and founding trustee of Schwarzman Scholars, and Stephen A. Orlins, the committee's outgoing president, the committee announced.
The program will feature a keynote from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on the U.S.-China economic relationship, remarks by Xie Feng, China's ambassador to the United States, and a musical performance by Danny Knicely and Chao Tian, blending Appalachian and traditional Chinese dulcimer music. Ambassador Xie's attendance and remarks at the U.S. organization's annual dinner in New York are an official activity by a Chinese diplomatic official in the United States.
Orlins will step down following this year's gala after more than two decades as president of the committee. The committee said Orlins created CHINA Town Hall, its flagship public education initiative, which has reached over ten million viewers and brought the conversation about U.S.-China relations directly to communities across the United States.
The National Committee on United States-China Relations says it fosters communication and exchange between the United States and China in support of productive bilateral relations and U.S. national interests.
