About Us
Who We Are
The Sino-US Friendship Center aims to foster person-to-person diplomacy by creating a welcoming environment for people to connect, share stories, and learn from one another. We believe that strong international relationships are built on mutual understanding, open communication, and the power of individual friendships. Our goal is to continue this legacy by facilitating dialogue and cultural exchange between the people of China and the United States.
