Welcome
It
is my great pleasure to introduce you to the Center for China-US Cooperation
(CCUSC). Founded in early 1998 by the University of Denver's Graduate
School of International Studies, now known as the Josef Korbel School of International Studies, the CCUSC has been strategic
in educating people in the Rocky Mountain region about Greater China,
including the Mainland, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
Our mission is to serve as a bridge in a search for mutual understanding, the development of prudent policies, and the positive resolution of disputes between Chinese and American people. The CCUSC fills a gap that exists in the Rocky Mountain region and between the two coasts in facilitating understanding of the changes in the political, economic, legal, social, and cultural landscape of China.
Our web site highlights our programs and activities. I would love to hear from you and sincerely hope that you will be part of our endeavor.

HIGHLIGHTS
*New DU Graduate Center at Peking University off to a great start!
The Graduate Center in Peking University has started off working very well. Holly McFarland, a Korbel student, is currently interning at the Economist. She is already coordinating an event in which many industry leaders, Chinese and foreign, will discuss China's economic development in the next decade. Dr. Youli Sun, the Director of the China Studies Institute reiterates that the internships are well liked by students, especially in today's economic situation.
