NEW YORK, Nov. 8 -- The annual study in China Alumni Night was held at the Chinese Consulate General in New York on Friday, where some 100 Americans were invited to share their stories as a student in China and exchanged their thoughts on bilateral ties.
Most of the participants of the event used words like "eye-opening" and "life-changing" to describe their experience in China, saying that such exchanges are vital to boosting mutual understanding, which is very much needed regarding the current situation in bilateral ties.
"I was just astounded by how little we knew about China before we got there," Anushka Prasad described how she felt upon her arrival in Beijing at a panel discussion. "I think my mind was blown."
During her days at Tsinghua University, Prasad was amazed by the progress China had made in such a short period of time spanning so many areas including economic growth, improvement in education standards, poverty elimination and air pollution reduction.
After leaving China in 2018, the Indian American decided to establish a non-profit that aims to increase people-to-people exchange and understanding between China and India, and founded the China India Foundation.
"I want a country like India really to understand how china achieved the amount of progress that it did and take what it can apply," she added.
Joshua Bunnell, a marketing and communications professional, is deeply impressed by China's rapid advancement in technology, saying that young Americans with business ambitions could take advantage of this trend.
