""We set up the program when U.S.-China relations were at their height in terms of cooperation. I knew we'd go through cycles that would be tense. But I didn't think the tension would come this quickly.""
""Everyone wanted to take selfies with me. I felt like a rockstar!""
""Now more than ever, engagement's the name of the game, and China isn't an elective course but should be part of the core curriculum.""
Steve Schwarzman, CEO of Blackstone, hosted the 10th reunion of the Schwarzman Scholars program at Tsinghua University, celebrating its impact on students' careers. The program, inspired by Rhodes Scholars, immerses young leaders in Chinese culture and governance. Schwarzman believes that understanding China is crucial for future leaders, especially amid rising tensions in U.S.-China relations. He asserts that engagement with China should be a core part of education, not an elective, to prepare the next generation for global leadership.
