This year, 2024, marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China and also the 45th anniversary of the establishment of the China-U.S. diplomatic ties. In the past few decades, China-U.S. relations have undergone ups and downs, but people-to-people exchanges have always been of crucial importance for the two nations. 

Today, we are going to talk with Dr. Terry Lautz, the author of “Americans in China: Encounters with the People’s Republic” to take a closer look at his stories about China-U.S. people-to-people exchanges and hear his insights on major country diplomacy between the world’s two largest economies.
