2011 China-United States Journalists Exchange

The 2nd China-United States Journalists Exchange provided opportunities for Chinese and US journalists to discuss energy and technology issues. Seven American journalists visited Ningbo, Beijing and Hong Kong in China and seven Chinese visited San Francisco, New York City and Washington, DC in the United States.
Outcomes: 
The post-study tour dialogue between the US and Chinese Exchange participants was held in Beijing. The daylong dialogue, hosted by the All-China Journalists Association, provided journalists an opportunity to share their travel experiences and the new perspectives they had gained on China and the US; to further discuss the China-US relationship and clear up remaining questions and concerns they had; to share media challenges faced in their countries; and to brainstorm on ways to improve coverage of China-US issues. Overall, both US and Chinese participants commented in their evaluations that the Exchange was very valuable and had enhanced their ability to provide thoughtful coverage and analysis on issues of concern to the US and China.
