Policymakers Chiefs of Staff Trip to China
August 8-17, 2010

________________

Program Summary:

The U.S.-China Policy Foundation (USCPF) would like to invite you to join our 2010 Policymakers Trip to China Program for a bipartisan group of congressional chiefs of staff, which will take place from August 8-17 during the summer congressional recess.

The August 2010 trip will highlight China's efforts to develop and utilize alternative energy sources and will feature visits to several prominent sites illustrating China's progress in this effort, including touring the Three Gorges Dam-the world's largest hydroelectric power station-and Qinshan Nuclear Power Station in Zhejiang province (about 100 miles from Shanghai). Participants will also visit cultural and historic sites in Beijing and Shanghai, as well as the 2010 Shanghai Expo.

 

The U.S.-China relationship is among the most significant bilateral relationships in the world. Through their positions, congressional staff members have the unique opportunity to inform our nation's legislators as they shape America's China-policy. The Policymakers Program presents an opportunity for them to enhance their understanding of the ever-changing Sino-American relationship. Through the trip to China, participants will obtain the knowledge necessary to make informed policy recommendations about the most recent developments in China and Sino-American bilateral relations.

The USCPF will work in close concert with the Embassy of the People's Republic of China and the Chinese People's Institute of Foreign Affairs to organize and execute the 2010 Policymakers Educational China Trip Program, which is approved by the U.S. Department of State under Section 108A of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 (MECEA). For more information, please see 22 U.S.C. §2451 et seq.

The USCPF is a nonprofit organization that fosters better understanding between the United States and China through education and exchange. It is a nonpartisan, non-advocacy, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) institution.

 

How to Participate:

Congressional chiefs of staff interested in participating in the program should contact the USCPF by April 16, 2010 to convey their interest and provide a brief narrative biography.
