China-United States Exchange Foundation

The 2024 U.S.-China Hong Kong Forum concluded this weekend with resounding success. We’re deeply encouraged by the productive dialogue and meaningful discussions that took place and are grateful to our co-host, the China Center for International Economic Exchanges (CCIEE), for their partnership in making this event possible. As CUSEF Chairman John Zhao aptly noted, "Dialogue and cooperation are more important than ever." And we believe this event and those like it reaffirm the power of candid conversations and people-to-people exchanges in shaping the world’s most consequential bilateral relationship. We’re energized by the Forum’s outcomes and are optimistic about the path forward. Thank you to each of our speakers, moderators, panelists, and attendees for your engaged participation and support. Together, let’s continue building a future shaped by partnership, not division! https://lnkd.in/e5SXN-Gv

From all of us at CUSEF, we wish you a joyful holiday and Christmas season.

CUSEF was thrilled to welcome students from Semester at Sea to our Hong Kong office last week. Vice Chairman Andy Tung and President James Chau shared insights about Hong Kong, as well as CUSEF's mission and programs. Fun fact: Semester at Sea’s origins trace back to CUSEF’s founder, Mr. Tung Chee Hwa, who provided ships and ship management expertise for the organization in the 1960s. Here's to fostering ongoing global connections! #SemesterAtSea #PeopleToPeople #CUSEF https://lnkd.in/eUFGVyga

One year after his passing, we honor Dr. Henry Kissinger, CUSEF Honorary Advisor and 56th U.S. Secretary of State. As a key architect of modern U.S.-China relations, his vision laid the groundwork for decades of peace and collaboration between the two nations. https://lnkd.in/dHawXnFr

Wishing everyone a joyful and peaceful holiday season!
