Beijing – Chinese President Xi Jinping has sent a personal reply to a group of American teachers and students from the University of Florida and two additional colleges, following their recent educational tour of China. The visit was marked by significant cultural immersion and achievements.
In his letter, Xi conveyed great pleasure at the news of their productive trip. He was particularly moved by the delegates’ deep fascination and authentic sentiments toward Chinese culture.
Xi underscored that China-US ties depend on public hopes and the energy of youth. Referencing the ambitious five-year plan to host 50,000 American youths, he revealed that over 40,000 have already joined, experiencing the true essence of China. This has not only provided a clear lens into the country but also erected sturdy bridges for enduring friendship between the two peoples.
The President affirmed that sustaining friendly exchanges aligns perfectly with the desires of both nations’ citizens. He urged greater participation from US youth, envisioning them as fresh ambassadors who will amplify contributions to interpersonal dialogues and the growth of bilateral partnerships.
This follows the delegation’s letter to Xi, detailing their October China visit and expressing profound thanks for the initiative that bolsters youth understanding across borders.
In an era of strategic competition, such initiatives exemplify how cultural and educational diplomacy can pave the way for cooperative futures between China and the United States.
