About CCUSC
OUR GOALS
CCUSC is a joint venture between multiple, varied groups in both the U.S. and China: intellectuals, investors, officials, academics, entrepreneurs, and others - all seriously committed to understanding the continuously changing and interlocking destinies of China and the United States. CCUSC has served and will continue to serve as a bridge to bring the two societies of the U.S. and China together in a search for mutual understanding, prudent policies, and the positive resolution of disputes. Our work is an initiative that is in harmony with the spirit and the demanding circumstances of the new millennium. Our goals are both national and regional.
Nationally, we seek to be one of the leading centers of China studies in the U.S. We plan to create endowed professorships in the center and develop a series of programs that enable the CCUSC to become an important bridge for networking and collaboration among students, scholars, teachers, entrepreneurs, intellectuals, artists and government experts in China and the United States. Regionally, we expect CCUSC to become the premier institution facilitating scholarly exchanges on Chinese affairs in the Rocky Mountain area. In this role, CCUSC will function in a manner similar to Harvard's Fairbanks Center in the New England Area and Stanford's Asian-Pacific Center in the San Francisco Bay area. For example, CCUSC will coordinate China-related research and teaching in the Rocky Mountain area. To accomplish this, CCUSC has taken, and will continue to play, the leadership role in identifying and coordinating China-related activities and initiatives in the Rocky Mountain region. CCUSC will serve as the principal source of information and analysis about China and as the leading vehicle for educating students, journalists, entrepreneurs, politicians, media figures and other opinion leaders throughout the Rocky Mountain West about China's economy, society, politics, government structure and policies. Our public education ambitions are not limited to the United States. Just as we want to help the American people understand China better, we want to contribute to better understanding of American society and policy on the part of the Chinese. Our close ties to Chinese institutions (and also to US-based investors in media projects in China) give us an unusual opportunity to advance that end. We also seek to connect Chinese scholars and policy analysts with non-U.S. experts in issue areas of mutual interest.
