The topic of the UCBC May monthly breakfast meeting on May 5, 2010, will be The Politics of China’s Power to be presented by Ron Bosrock of Global Institute.
Mr. Bosrock will explore two of the main pillars of China's rise as a global economic power: its politics and its military.

Within that dance are steps leading to opportunities for American business.
