The two sides compared notes on the report delivered by President Xi Jinping at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the US midterm elections, the US National Security Strategy, and China-US relations. Both sides believe that this dialogue can help young people in the US better understand today’s China as well as help CISS fellows better understand the current domestic and foreign affairs of the US, and expressed the expectation to enhance their communication in the future.
