Part of: China-United States Journalists Exchange
Program
Theme: Four Decades of US-China Relations: Prospects for Business and Trade
Dates: September 8-14, 2019
Destinations: Des Moines, Iowa; Washington, DC
The 10th China-United States Journalists Exchange took place in 2019, a year that marked the 40th anniversary of US-China bilateral relations, the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and the 10th anniversary of the China-US Journalists Exchange.
The 2019 program focused on the prospects of business and trade between the world’s two largest economies amid continued escalation of trade friction and economic threats after trade talks concluded with no deal. The reporting tour provided opportunities for Chinese journalists to explore these and other current issues in the important bilateral relationship under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump and President Xi Jinping. They got a firsthand look at a wide range of topics impacting US-China relations including social, economic and political challenges in both countries as well as stability and security in the Asia-Pacific region.
The 2019 Exchange took five Chinese journalists to Washington DC to meet with government officials from the US Department of State, academics from Brookings, the Wilson Center, Pew Research, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the EWC in Washington, and journalists from NPR and the National Press Club. The group then travelled to Des Moines, Iowa, where they met with the city's mayor, journalists from the Des Moines Register, business leaders from the Iowa Soybean Association, and individual soybean farmers. Iowa is a leading producer of US soybeans, of which China is the number one importer.
