As the most significant relationship of our times, China and the U.S. shape geopolitics, technology, and the economy. They connect countries and influence international governance; their ability to address major challenges including climate change will determine the global future.
China-United States Exchange Foundation serves this most significant relationship and focuses on areas where strategic partnership between the Chinese and American people yields the deepest benefits for mankind.
We are committed to diversity, equality, and inclusion, partnering with among others Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the U.S. We support different and high-caliber opinions, and work to ensure that financial cost is not a barrier to participation in our programs.
We believe mutual respect and meaningful engagement underpins an environment where open and impartial contributions thrive. We champion the position that China and the U.S. have much to offer the world when they choose to work together.
We are an independent platform that supports the overall bilateral relationship. We do not take funding, direction, or policy positions from any government. We are grateful to the private donors whose generosity enables our work.
We are positioned along the renowned Victoria Harbor that was first referenced in 1425 on sailing maps drawn by Chinese explorer, Admiral Zheng He. Over the centuries, its natural protection from wind and waves have provided a sanctuary for passing vessels.
Our strategic location allows us to work in unique ways — between China and the U.S., and with honest global brokers who have made Hong Kong their home.
