The National Committee on United States - China

Relations is a nonprofit educational organization that

encourages understanding of China and the United

States among citizens of both countries. The

Committee focuses its exchange, educational and policy

activities on politics and security, education, governance

and civil society, economic cooperation, media

and transnational issues, addressing these with

respect to mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

The Committee’s programs draw strength from its

members, who number more than 750 Americans

from all parts of the country and 80 corporations

and professional firms. They represent many viewpoints,

but share the belief that productive U.S. - China

relations require ongoing public education, face-to-face

contact and the forthright exchange of ideas.

National Committee on United States-China Relations 3


Two thousand and twelve marked a rare milestone in Sino-American relations: forthe first time since the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949, an Americanpresidential election coincided with the elevation of a new Chinese leader. Xi

Jinping, who became General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party just over a weekafter Barack Obama won reelection, has conveyed his willingness to promote a range ofeconomic and political reforms and a commitment to advancing constructive U.S.-Chinarelations. He shared his views on those subjects at a lunch the National Committee co-hosted in his honor during his February visit to the United States, as China’s vicepresident at the time, one of the many programs you will read about in this annualreport.

As we have come to expect from past election cycles, China emerged as a strongpoint of contention in both national and local campaigns in 2012, in many cases fueled byrhetoric that does not advance constructive relations. In these times, the NationalCommittee’s work promoting dialogue and face-to-face interaction becomes even morecritical. The National Committee addresses the U.S.-China relationship in a variety ofways, from track II dialogues – on issues such as the rule of law, human rights, territorialclaims, and the economic relationship – to seminars that help our military leaderscommunicate with their Chinese counterparts, to exchanges of teachers, educationaladministrators, and many others that foster greater understanding of both countries thatcan be passed on to future generations through students. Our innovative and cutting-edge initiatives engage Chinese and Americans across the Pacific, inform policymakersand build the capacity of next-generation leaders who, like our two country’s presidents,are already defining the next era of the relationship.

The National Committee is grateful to its membership and supporters, vitalpartners in ensuring a productive and fruitful Sino-American relationship.

Delegations of outstanding Chinese highschool students have also traveled to the UnitedStates for reciprocal visits that expose these futureleaders to a wide range of experiences andpeople—the second such visit since the founding ofthe program took place in spring 2012. Both direc-tions of the exchange provide rare opportunities forthese students to learn about the other countrythrough the eyes of their counterparts and ignite apassion and curiosity they often continue toexplore in college and beyond.
