“The us-china strong foundation is a nonprofit organization that seeks to strengthen us-china relations by investing in a new generation of leaders who have the knowledge and skills to engage with china. Established in 2013 as the 100,000 strong foundation - and relaunched in 2016 as the us-china strong foundation - the organization leads a national movement to ensure the next generation of us leaders is equipped to engage effectively with china: a global strategic power, the second largest economy in the world and america's fastest growing trade partner. Us-china strong leads three signature campaigns that focus on supporting the full spectrum of american youth, spanning from our youngest students through young professionals entering china-related careers. 1 million strong: 1 million strong is a national campaign to expand fivefold mandarin language learning in us k-12 schools from approximately 200,000 to 1 million by 2020. Presidents barack obama and xi jinping announced this ambitious effort in 2015. 100k strong: announced in 2009, 100k strong is a presidential initiative whose initial goal of seeing 100,000 americans studying in china by 2014 was surpassed. Us-china strong continues to work with both washington and beijing to expand and diversify us study abroad to china. Us-china alumni ambassador network: the foundation's robust and growing us-china alumni ambassador network engages american and chinese youth who have participated in cross-cultural exchange programs, connecting and cultivating these future leaders as they pursue professional careers. Backed by high-level support from both washington and beijing, us governors and members of congress, and american and chinese business leaders, us-china strong is committed to dramatically increasing the number and diversity of young americans learning mandarin and gaining meaningful experience in us-china relations. By simultaneously engaging prominent us and chinese students and stakeholders, us-china strong is shaping a more constructive future for us-china relations.”

“In 2014, the initial goal of seeing 100,000 students study abroad in china was surpassed. The foundation continues to build upon its success, working with partners across the country to raise awareness of the importance of study abroad, increase the diversity of students participating in programs and working with corporate sponsors to increase the number of scholarships. Specifically, the us-china strong foundation works closely with a group of 20 signature partners organizations to accomplish our goals. These organizations work with the foundation to advance our core mission of promoting the us-china strategic relationship through study abroad. Partners include: american association of state colleges and universities; afs intercultural programs; alliance for global education; americans promoting study abroad; american councils for international education; american university; ciee; confucius institute in chicago; china institute; delaware state department of education; hispanic association of colleges and universities; johns hopkins university school of advanced international studies; one world now!; school year abroad; thurgood marshall college fund; ucla's confucius institute; the university of iowa; utah state office of education; xavier university of louisiana; yale-china association; the foundation also runs the us-china strong foundation student ambassador program. Each year, the foundation selects 75-100 american students to serve as ambassadors on the grassroots level. These students represent the diversity of america, one of our nation's greatest strengths. They have studies in china and have a deep understanding of chinese culture and history. As ambassadors, these students not only share their transformative china experiences, but also play a vital role in furthering the foundation's mission. Announced in 2015 by presidents barack obama and xi jinping, the goal of 1 million strong is to grow the next generation of leaders who have a deeper understanding of china by creating a pipeline of china-savvy employees in a range of critical industries, and ensuring that us students from all backgrounds have the opportunity to gain china-related skills. To make 1 million strong a reality, us-china strong is working with a bipartisan coalition of governors, mayors and school superintendents across the country, as well as with education and technology leaders. Led by a steering committee of experts, a task force assists the foundation in identifying implementation partners and offering creative solutions to reaching the 1 million student goal.”
