With China's increasing presence on the world stage, and with recent economic events bringing even more attention to it, China's relationship with the U.S. has become increasingly important.

"China Institute is honored to participate in welcoming President Xi to America," said James Heimowitz, President of China Institute. "I believe China and the U.S. are the two most important countries on the planet. It is so important that we nurture mutual trust. China Institute's mission is to promote greater understanding of China through its programs in education, language, business, arts and culture, and we hope this state visit will generate even greater awareness."

China Institute plays a leading role in bringing the US and China closer. Founded in 1926 with funds from the Boxer Indemnity Fund, China Institute is the oldest bicultural, non-profit organization in America to focus exclusively on China, and the only non-profit outside of China funded in part by the Chinese government.
