Small ball, wide door: Ping-Pong Diplomacy lives on

Fifty-five years after United States table tennis players made a historic visit to China, the spirit of Ping-Pong Diplomacy continues to live on as people-to-people exchanges remain a cornerstone in bilateral relations.

That is the view of Bill Einreinhofer, a three-time Emmy Award-winning US film producer and director of the public television documentary Your Serve or Mine.

An Asian premiere of the documentary was held at the Asia Society Hong Kong Center on Tuesday to coincide with the 55th anniversary of Ping-Pong Diplomacy this year.
