Throughout the year, the Committee runs a variety of programs to educate Congressional staffers. These include “study group” briefings and a new congressional staff fellowship launched in 2026. Our regular staff delegations are currently paused while MECEA-supported travel to the P.R.C. remains suspended.
The National Committee regularly sets up briefings for members of Congress. We also send members of Congress to China, having arranged and escorted eight bipartisan delegations since 2006. The week-long study tours are designed to educate the congressmen and women about China through personal introductions to senior Chinese leaders and a range of informative site visits and meetings.
