On Friday, July 8, 2022, two groups of high school students from a George Washington University summer program visited the ICAS office to learn about the Washington, DC think tank community and the complexities of U.S.-China relations. The two back-to-back visits largely focused on understanding the Belt and Road Initiative and the impact of other current events on the progression of U.S.-China relations in diplomacy, trade, technology, society and security.
This student visit is part of the Institute’s vision to nurture future thought-leaders by engaging policy questions with sincerity and frankness and providing a window into the worldviews of both the United States and China, and thereby serve as a vehicle to promote greater understanding between these two countries and societies.
