Capstone Town Hall: The End of The "China Initiative"

On Wednesday, February 23, 2022, Assistant Attorney General Matt Olsen announced an end to the controversial “China Initiative,” and a series of changes to their national security approach to address concerns of profiling of Asian Americans and immigrants lifted up by Advancing Justice - AAJC and other civil rights and academic groups.

The Townhall was a space for community members to ask questions about the Department of Justice’s announcement to end the “China Initiative,” what that means, and where we go from here.“ We were joined by representatives from participating organizations and special guests – Margaret Lewis, Xiaoxing Xi, and Frank Wu in their personal capacity.

On March 17, 2022, a Community Town Hall was held to discuss the end of the China Initiative.  The open forum was not recorded.
