      • The Project Pengyou initiative is a program of the Golden Bridges Foundation. In 2011, Golden Bridges was invited by the U.S. Department of State to build a global network of Americans with firsthand China experience. Conceived as the alumni network for the President’s 100,000 Strong Initiative, Project Pengyou is seeded by funds from the Ford Foundation and provides transformative leadership training to mobilize next-generation leaders to launch campus chapters of U.S.-China bridges-builders across the country. The initiative also maintains a dynamic online network and resource hub curating China-related jobs, events and exchange programs.

      • Sino-American Talks (中美说) is dedicated to improving the relationship between Chinese and American society. Americans need a greater understanding of the Chinese perspective on Sino-American issues, and Chinese need a greater understanding of the American perspective. Our aim is to strengthen mutual understanding and respect, and to reduce false assumptions. We host live events in Beijing, featuring speakers from both China and the USA, focusing on a wide range of topics that relate to the two countries and their relationship. We also video tape these events and share them online. If you are interested in what we are doing, please get in touch. We are always happy to hear from potential speakers, volunteers, or organizations that are interested in cooperating with us. Organizer: Joseph Lemien (WeChat: JLemien)
