The China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF) is delighted to host a group of 14 graduate students from Georgetown University for a visit to China between June 4 and 13, 2019.

During the visit, the delegation visited three cities in China, Beijing, Guizhou and Shenzhen.

This trip enables students to discuss current hot issues with government officials, scholars, professors, businesspeople, and their Chinese counterparts. The students engage in robust discussions with high-level government offices such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Office for International Military Cooperation of the Central Military Commission, the Shanghai Institute for International Studies, and Fudan University.

Furthermore, the students also explored multiple historical and cultural attractions in China, including the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Gulangyu Island, the Shanghai Bund, the Pearl T.V. Tower, Guizhou Qiyan Ancient Town, and more. This experience encourages the participants to further develop their understanding and awareness of Chinese culture, history, and opportunities within China.
