2015 China-United States Journalists Exchange 

Theme:    "Bridging the Gaps in Understanding between China and the United States" 
 
The 6th China-United States Journalists Exchange is scheduled for September 5-18, 2015.  The 2015 Exchange will provide opportunities for six Chinese participants to visit the United States and six US participants to visit China and Hong Kong. The groups will explore the dynamics in each country that shape the important bilateral relationship between the world’s two largest economies. The journalists will get a firsthand look at a wide range of topics that include US-China relations; economic growth and challenges in each country; stability and security in the Asia-Pacific region; and current social, cultural and political issues in China and the United States. The journalists will meet with government officials, business leaders, academics, journalists, non-governmental organizations and other members of the Chinese and American communities. Following these study tours, both Chinese and American journalists will meet at the East-West Center in Washington for a one-day dialogue to report on their experiences and to exchange opinions on how media coverage may be improved in the participants’ respective countries.
