People-to-people connections are the bedrock of stable China-U.S.relations.This was the powerful reminder offered by the Across the Pacific:China-U.S.Youth Dialogue for a Shared Future program,which concluded in Shanghai in late July.Over two weeks,25 young scholars traveled across Beijing,Xi'an in Shaanxi Province,Suzhou in Jiangsu Province and Shanghai,diving into discussions on diplomacy,culture,trade and global governance.Their exchanges didn't just share ideas-they wove a hopeftil narrative for bilateral ties,proving that friendship grows strongest when rooted in individual connections.
