Following the tour, the ambassador met with a roundtable of students recommended by faculty. “China is still a mystery to many people in the US,” Branstad said. “Programs like [NYU Shanghai], where students get to integrate and get to know each other are really good” for improving relations between our two countries. Branstad also encouraged more Americans to come to China: “This is an exciting, dynamic, and changing place,” he said, noting that his own daughter had decided to come teach and live in China with her young family for a while. “You have to have a sense of adventure, but wow - what an opportunity!” Share: Facebook Twitter Weibo All Years202420232022202120202019201820172016201520142013 Apply Olympian Realm Oct 24 2016 Delusional Crime and Punishment Oct 18 2016 From the Ground up with Ma Shouze Oct 14 2016 Dumpling Plumping Sep 29 2016 5 Ways to Celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival This WeekSep 14 2016 Meet the Family Sep 13 2016 For Real Sep 12 2016 Study Away Photo Contest 2016Sep 11 2016 Display of Confection Sep 1 2016 Convocation Celebration Aug 22 2016 Welcome Class of 2020Aug 19 2016 Secrets of Xi'anAug 1 2016 Fossils and Crystals Jul 19 2016 Hong Kong Tech Trek Jun 27 2016 Dragon Boat FestivalJun 13 2016 Pagination « First First page ‹ Previous Previous page … 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 … Next › Next page Last » Last page
