Founded
in 1995, the U.S.-China Policy Foundation is a non-partisan, non-profit,
non-advocacy organization that promotes a greater understanding between
American and Chinese policymakers, researchers, and government officials.
USCPF seeks to provide opportunities for students, researchers, and
practitioners of foreign policy to interact in more diverse and substantial
ways. USCPF also conducts research on U.S.-China policies and relations
in the Asia-Pacific region. The foundation does not advocate any policy
