Exchange program helped her better understand China, US student says

Chinese President Xi Jinping recently replied to students from 10 US universities who wrote to him after attending youth exchange programs in China. CGTN spoke to one of these students, Jazmine Morales Diego, who’s enrolled at the University of California, Riverside. She said going to China helped her better understand the country, like its focus on advanced manufacturing and fight against pollution. She supports having more exchange programs so that “greater connections could be built between American and Chinese students,” because it allows young people to be more culturally open, learn from one another, join hands to tackle issues of common concern and “cut down on stigmas,” as she puts it. #APECChinaYear #APECChina2026 #ActToAction 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
