Website Introduction
This website aims at improving the Sino-U.S. relations and promoting peace between the mainland and Taiwan. It is published at a critical juncture in Chinese and American history when both countries can celebrate a fruitful mutual engagement, yet face some uncertainties for their long-term interactions. It is run by the China-U.S. Friendship Exchange, Inc., which was founded in Northern California in September 2006 by Dr. Sheng-Wei Wang, a scholar, writer and media figure. The site will host monthly web publications by invited experts on major China-U.S. issues and related Taiwan topics. Forums and book publications are planned as the website further expands in the future.

07/01/2025 Who’s afraid of big, bad China?
By Jocelyn Chey
Finally, the election process is over and done with and the results are in. We look forward to news bulletins not dominated by party spokespeople spruiking how they will deal with the cost of living. Rents, health and transport costs are all important, but the big issues that will make or break their social policies are all global, and the real question is how we can front up to them and hopefully turn them to our benefit. If the world goes into recession, which is a very real possibility, we will all be affected.

6/23第二五一回「寫·閱·評·聚」由金大俠主持，七人與會，閲評了四篇文友的創作。<燕翔華府，怡然人生>以溫暖筆觸刻劃王燕怡「平凡中的不平凡」，透過具體事例展現其人格厚度，或強化「商界/僑界雙軌並行」的矛盾張力，並以「紀念牌」等意象貫穿，凸顯其「傳承」精神。<狼阱與ABBA共舞>一文生動捕捉ABBA演唱會的跨世代狂歡，以「夏夜復甦」為軸，巧妙融合場景描寫與情感共鳴，可強化「時間穿越」的意象（如「音樂如時光膠囊」），並精簡場地介紹，將篇幅留給觀眾互動的細節，更能凸顯魔幻氛圍。 <山城褶疊>以「褶疊」為喻，巧妙串聯重慶的時空層次與人文景觀，文字細膩如山水畫卷，人物角色轉變與城市紋理相互映襯，情感飽滿。或可在觸覺與嗅覺上多加著墨，立體感會更強烈。<老老對談：有關係就沒關係？＞以對話形式探討「赦罪」中正義與慈悲的辯證，結構清晰且引經據典，展現宗教哲學深度。內容充實、或顯抽象，建議可加強具體案例說明、「有條件赦罪」的實踐等，補充生活化元素，並簡化專業用語，使論點更親民。【參與者七人：戴、韓、魯、蕭、白、張、金】
