A Room That Matters
The objective is not maximum attendance. It is the right room.
China Inside America: New Rules for Normal Relations will convene a highly selected group of senior American, Chinese, Taiwanese and global corporate leaders at The Boca Raton. It is a private executive retreat on the changing rules governing commerce, investment, technology, supply chains and market access in the United States.

Attendance will close when the appropriate group has been assembled.
II · Why Now
Why This Retreat · Why Now
The old assumptions are changing. So is the meaning of normal relations.
Chinese companies, technologies, components, capital and supply chains remain deeply connected to major sectors of the American economy. American companies continue to manufacture in China, source from China, sell into China, depend on Chinese suppliers and compete against Chinese enterprises. Taiwanese companies occupy critical positions in semiconductors, electronics, advanced manufacturing and technology infrastructure.
What once seemed like ordinary commercial decisions increasingly carry regulatory, political and strategic consequences.
The Retreat is designed to address what comes next.
Washington is imposing new rules affecting
- Technology
- Investment
- Supply chains
- Market access
- National security
- Foreign ownership
- Corporate accountability
III · The Central Question
What should normal commercial relations look like now?
- What are the new expectations for companies operating in the American marketplace?
- Where does dependency create risk?
- Where does Chinese participation continue to benefit American industry and consumers?
- Where is diversification realistic?
- What does reciprocity require?
- How should American companies manage China exposure?
- What role will Taiwanese companies play in a changing American industrial strategy?
- What rules will govern access to the world's largest and most consequential markets?
These are no longer simply policy questions. They are boardroom questions.
The focus is practical. No participant is asked to adopt a predetermined political position.
IV · The Participants
United States · China · Taiwan
Companies in the American economy belong in the conversation about its rules.
The Retreat is not structured as a geopolitical debate. Executives attend in their corporate capacities, on common subjects: commerce, investment, manufacturing, technology, supply chains, competition, regulation and market access.

V · The Experience
The Executive Experience · The Boca Raton
Built around proximity. Not volume.
The setting is part of the proposition. The Boca Raton is intentionally removed from Washington's political theater and New York's transactional pace, creating space for conversations that do not happen easily elsewhere.
No exhibition hall
No trade-show floor
No mass registration
No parade of corporate presentations
No sponsorship-purchased speeches
The Boardroom
Private executive discussions on the commercial issues shaping the next decade.
The Table
Leadership breakfasts, private luncheons and intimate dinners designed for substantive conversation.
The Golf Course
Curated foursomes: an American CEO, a Chinese corporate executive, a Taiwanese technology leader and a major investor.
The Private Conversation
Time deliberately left unscheduled, so participants can meet privately outside the formal program.
VI · The Program
Core Discussions · The Retreat Program
Four principal themes. Then the boardroom moves to the golf course.

Technology & Security

Where dependency is real, where diversification is possible, what resilience costs.
