Dear Zhenying:  

Please join the USC U.S.-China Institute for the release of Building U.S.-China Trust：Through Next Generation People, Platforms & Programs, a joint report by the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism and the Peking University School of International Studies.  

American and Chinese economies and societies have never been as closely joined as they are today. Yet, major differences between the two countries dominate the headlines and polls show that people in the two countries have less respect for and trust in the other country. In short, we have more contact and less trust. How do we reverse this trend of increasing popular fear and distrust? How can we encourage collaboration and increase our problem-solving capacity?

A commission composed of leading scholars, former officials, and businesspeople and lead by Deans Ernest Wilson III（USC Annenberg）and Wang Jisi（PKU International Studies）is releasing a report assessing this trend and offering concrete suggestions on how to build trust and improve U.S.-China ties.     

Please join us at USC on April 22 or the Wilson Center on April 24. Attendees will receive a copy of the report and be able to join in the discussion. You'll also get a first look at our new U.S.-China Exchange website and its public database of hundreds of past and present U.S.-China exchange programs.
