With a mission of promoting US-China relations through education and exchange for China’s next-generation leaders, education is at the heart of all of USCET’s programs. Our programs support greater understanding of the history and value of education relations between the US and China, and are bringing students from the US and China together to find common ground.
Chinese Student Experiences in America Project
To better understand the history and experiences of Chinese students in the United States, USCET conducted a survey of former Chinese students in 2022/23. The result were analyzed in a comprehensive report done by USCET and the UC San Diego’s China Data Lab in 2023. USCET is also holding virtual and in-person events to raise awareness of this important topic.
