Chinese President Xi Jinping announced an invitation for 100,000 young Americans to visit China for exchanges and study over the next five years during his state visit to the United States.

President Xi stated that the hope of the China-US relationship lies in the people, and its future depends on the youth. So how do young Americans see China today? How can cultural exchanges deepen mutual understanding and improve bilateral relations in the long run?

CMG reporter Li Xueyao hit the streets of Washington, D.C., and spoke to young Americans to hear their thoughts.
