Fulbright Program: A Bright Facet of Sino-U.S. People-to-People Exchange

In the history of Chinese-American people-to-people exchange,the implementation of the China-U.S.Fulbright Program is surely a bright facet which should not be ignored.This program has been cultivating talents in the fields of social sciences and humanities for the two countries,promoting Sino-U.S.communications in the domains of education,academia and culture,and propelling the diffusion and advance of both Chinese and American cultures.The Fulbright Program in China still has certain limitations waiting to be improved,and one obvious problem is its coverage in China.To solve this problem,more Chinese higher education institutions should be included in the China-U.S.Fulbright Program,and the result would be the generation of immeasurable value for the prosperity of Sino-American people-to-people exchange and therefore the construction of the new model of major country relations between China and the United States.

China and the US Should Maintain and Strengthen People-to-People Exchanges

China-US strategic competition has intensified in recent years,and anti-China forces in the US have preached the“clash of civilizations”thesis and launched an ideological containment against China.They have also set up barriers to people-to-people exchanges between the two countries in an attempt to constitute a decoupling.Such actions have undermined the normal people-to-people exchanges between the two sides,aggravated bilateral relations,and made the two peoples perceive each other more negatively.In the face of US provocations,China firmly opposes and strongly condemns the restrictions imposed by American anti-China forces on bilateral people-to-people exchanges.Meanwhile,China will maintain its strategic focus,and,under the guidance of the Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy,continue to promote normal people-topeople exchanges between the two countries and strive to develop China-US relations featuring coordination,cooperation and stability.
