China’s first lady reaches out to US students at Beijing sports event
==========
Peng Liyuan, China's first lady, attended a basketball match at Beijing No. 8 High School on September 25, 2024, where she engaged with a youth delegation from 10 high schools in Washington state. She emphasized the importance of fostering friendship between Chinese and American youth, stating that travel experiences can nurture a 'tree of friendship'. The event was part of an initiative by President Xi Jinping to invite 50,000 young Americans to China over five years, announced during the APEC Summit in November 2023. Peng presented commemorative medals to students and encouraged them to share their experiences upon returning to the US. The event follows a series of bilateral youth exchanges, with over 60 exchanges occurring in the first half of 2024, according to the Centre for China and Globalisation.
