Students from Muscatine Middle School in Iowa, USA, are excitedly preparing for their “trip to China” in April. Many students from this school have visited China.

The Global Civilization Initiative advocates the persistence of equality, mutual learning, dialogue, and tolerance among civilizations. President Xi Jinping encouraged the children by saying that “seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times”, and welcomed more young American friends to come to China to exchange and study, so as to experience a true, three-dimensional and comprehensive China first-hand.
