Ambassador invites more US youths to visit China

Beijing's top envoy in Washington has extended an invitation to young people in the United States to visit China, which will give them firsthand experiences in the country and enhance mutual understanding between the two nations.

"I invite more young Americans to be part of the '50,000 in five years' initiative, promote dialogue and cooperation, enhance people-to-people exchanges, and carry forward the goodwill between our two peoples," Chinese Ambassador to the US Xie Feng said on Saturday.

In a meeting with US President Joe Biden in San Francisco in November 2023, President Xi Jinping announced that China was going to invite 50,000 young Americans to China on exchange and study programs in the ensuing five years.
