The All-China Journalists Association, the Better Hong Kong Foundation and the East-West Center jointly initiated the 1st China-United States Journalists Exchange in 2010 to increase and deepen public understanding of the two countries as well as their relationship. The program offers opportunities for six to seven Chinese journalists to travel to the United States and six to seven US journalists to travel to China.
The Chinese participants visit Washington D.C. and one to two other cities in the US while the American journalists will visit Beijing, another mainland China city and Hong Kong.
