  <description>Tensions with China have been at the top of the political discourse over the past several months whether it's rouge balloons or Taiwan trips. And just like the geopolitical landscape, the capital markets are coming to terms with a reset of the relationship between the US and PRC.

Weiheng has been a leader in underwriting and M&amp;amp;A in the China/US market and has worked on deals valued in the billions across technology, media, telecom, healthcare, education, consumer, and financial industries.
We discuss how market and regulatory changes in both countries will reshape the future of fundraising, dealflow and financial disclosures.
 Special Guest: Weiheng Chen.
