The China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF) is delighted to host a group of 19 students from Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) to visit China between January 3rd and January 13th, 2017.
During the 11-day visit, the delegation visited four cities in China, namely, Beijing, Shanghai, Wuzhen and Hangzhou, where they met with Chinese government ministries, business leaders, startups, academia and non-profit organizations to gain a panoramic view of China and its development. Students also visited a number of famous cultural sites in China, including the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, and had the opportunity to sample a variety of delicious Chinese cuisines.
Students commented that the trip was definitely a rewarding and eye-opening experience for them and that being able to visit the country and learn first-hand from the people has definitely enriched their understanding and perspective of China and its relation with U.S and other countries. After the trip, students claimed that they would definitely like to revisit the country again soon in the future.
