China-US Youth Talk: New York youth's impressions of Chinese culture

Chinese President Xi Jinping held talks with US President Donald Trump on May 14, during which the two sides reached common understandings on the new vision of building a constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability, which is expected to provide strategic guidance for bilateral relations over the next three years and beyond.

In this context, people in both countries are full of curiosity about each other. Recently, CGTN Stringer hit the streets of New York City, launching a Q&A challenge centered on the questions that Chinese netizens are most curious about. Questions ranged from the linguistic curiosity of "Do you want to learn Chinese?" to the taste memories of "What do you think of when you hear 'Chinese food'?," and the social attitudes behind "Would you like to be friends with Chinese people?" Their answers range from a love for the melodic rhythms of the Chinese language, to honest reviews of authentic flavors like steamed pork buns, and even personal reflections on the value of grassroots China-US friendship drawn from real-life experiences. Let's see how American youth respond to these questions about language, food and human connections.
