The initiative shows that China is committed to doing its part and further fostering dialogue between young people in both countries, David Firestein, president and CEO of the George H. W. Bush Foundation for U.S.-China Relations, said at a recent event.

　　"I think the United States needs to do more, and I hope we"ll see more," Firestein said.

　　"Youth will shape our future," said Jan Berris, vice president of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations. "It"s really important for people to see for themselves what the other country is like, to have an opportunity to talk to others. Then you can make up your own mind," she said.
