Website Introduction  
This website aims at improving the Sino-U.S. relations and promoting peace between the mainland and Taiwan.

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.

Last Friday extreme heat forced early closure of Donald Trump’s Great American State Fair. Fortunately, the fair was sparsely attended. As some wags put it, tens of people had to be evacuated from the National Mall. Even so, 44 people received health assistance and 11 were taken to hospitals due to the heat.

08/01/2026   Time to stand on principles
By Jeffrey D. Sachs
On July 4, the United States marked the 250th anniversary of its Declaration of Independence. The occasion deserves reflection — not only on what the US has become, but on the founding principles it has so often forgotten.

7/27第二七五回「寫···聚」由金大俠主持,八人與會,閱評文友四篇文章。<鐵線蓮>是一篇兼具文學性與人生體悟的優秀散文。以鐵線蓮遲開為引,巧妙映照親子關係與生命成長,景物描寫細膩,情感真摯自然,寓意深刻而不說教,寄情於景、借物抒懷,沒有刻意煽情,卻能自然打動人心。尤其由「靜待花開」轉化為「等待孩子成長」的聯想,前後呼應,層次完整,令人深受啟發。結尾點出「等待」與「陪伴」的智慧,餘韻悠長。<拉斯維加斯的奇蹟>取材於真實趣事,鋪陳完整,讀起來有畫面,也有舞台感。笑點建立於反差與層層反轉,收尾亦能呼應主題。尤其它不是靠低俗內容取笑「美女秀」,而是把重點放在腎結石意外排出與夫妻互動的反差,幽默而不失分寸。若再精簡敘述、縮短鋪陳、強化包袱密度與節奏,爆笑效果將更上一層樓。<關外之城>是一篇成熟度極高的遊記散文,以歷史、人文與旅途見聞交織成大連風貌,文字流暢,意象優美,兼具知性與抒情。尤其結尾從路人的善意、AI管家的現代感,再回到「向海而生」的城市精神,形成了歷史與當代的對照,收束自然,餘韻悠長。<杜邦圓環>以散步串連杜邦圓環的人文風景,描寫細膩,兼具知性與生活情趣,城市氣質躍然紙上,文章節奏舒緩,景物、人物與心境自然融合。若能修飾少數用語、精簡個別段落、深化結尾餘韻,整體感染力將更加圓熟。【參與者八人:湯、張、蔡、陳、魯、韓、戴、金】
