flag U.S.-China people-to-people ties, once strengthened by exchanges like a 1993 Hawaii fellowship and military cooperation, are at risk due to declining dialogue, raising tensions.

flag A 1993 journalism fellowship in Hawaii highlighted the value of U.S.-China people-to-people exchanges, with the author recalling how academic and cultural interactions fostered mutual understanding. flag The article notes key U.S. policy shifts under President Clinton, including decoupling trade status from human rights and supporting China’s WTO accession, which helped ease tensions. flag It emphasizes the importance of sustained dialogue, especially in military and diplomatic channels, citing the RIMPAC naval exercise as a key venue for cooperation—until China’s disinvitation in 2018. flag The author warns that declining high-level exchanges increase the risk of misunderstanding and stresses that regular, meaningful engagement remains essential for peace and stability amid growing differences.
