People-to-People Relations: The Importance of Personal Experience in China
Listen now
Description
There are only an estimated 400 American students studying in China. This statistic indicates a sobering new reality for U.S.-China relations—one of decreasing interaction between young Americans and Chinese, and in turn increasing misinformation about China in the U.S. What role can educational institutions play in fostering healthier U.S.-China relations?  Joanna Waley-Cohen, provost of NYU Shanghai, joins us from Shanghai to discuss how a personal understanding of Chinese society and culture can impact students, and the continued necessity of educational ventures such as NYU Shanghai to improved U.S.-China relations.   About the speaker: https://www.ncuscr.org/video/personal-experience-in-china/ Subscribe to the National Committee on YouTube for video of this interview.
