In November 2023 in San Francisco, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced an important new initiative, inviting 50,000 young Americans to China for exchange and study over the next five years. The initiative aims at bolstering U.S.-China relations, through exchange of younger generations. The “Young Envoys Scholarship” (YES) program has came into being to support this powerful initiative, executed by China Educational Association for International Exchange (CEAIE).
