Baseball brought young people from China and the United States together in Chengdu during a recent youth exchange. The Sichuan Jiaolong Baseball Team played against a team from Northeastern State University in Oklahoma, then bonded through cultural activities at Sichuan Sports College.

"We're creating friendships and relationships that carry past the diamond," said US baseball player Carson Miller.

"The martial arts is really fun," said US baseball player Jason Avila after watching a martial arts performance in Chengdu, "I can't wait to go back home and talk to everybody about my time here. It's been awesome."
