Xi Announces More Study Abroad Opportunities for Americans

What’s new: China will invite 50,000 young Americans to study abroad and participate in exchange programs over the next five years, President Xi Jinping said at a dinner in San Francisco on Wednesday, following his summit with U.S. President Joe Biden.

“We should build more bridges and pave more roads for people-to-people interactions. We must not erect barriers or create a chilling effect,” Xi said, according to a transcript of the address released by China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
