Since our founding in 1966, the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations has remained at the forefront of the dynamic Sino-American relationship by encouraging constructive dialogue, fostering face-to-face interaction and the forthright exchange of ideas and educating Americans and Chinese about the realities of each other's countries.

While are proud of our forty-five year legacy, including our role in the 1972 "Ping Pong Diplomacy" exchange, the National Committee's cutting-edge dialogues, exchanges and public programs affirm its continuing role as the premier American organization dedicated to productive U.S.-China relations.

We invite you to contact us (info@ncuscr.org) about our mission and programs, and to support our work by making a tax-free donation to the National Committee.
