A group of U.S. high schoolers from Muscatine, Iowa, just took friendship goals to the next level! Over 20 students recently shared heartfelt thanks with Chinese President Xi Jinping after a groundbreaking exchange trip to China in January. Their journey? Part of Xi’s 2023 pledge to invite 50,000 American youths to China by 2028.
During the students’ visit—organized with Xi’s personal support—they explored cultural landmarks, connected with peers, and even got shoutouts from Sarah Lande, a longtime Iowan friend of the Chinese president. Talk about a VIP-backed study abroad experience!
Why it matters: This isn’t just sightseeing—it’s youth diplomacy in action. As global tensions simmer, these teens are proof that curiosity and cross-cultural bonds can bridge divides. Plus, who knows? The next big idea in U.S.-China relations might come from a Gen Z group chat.
