大学沙龙, The Carter Center, Dragon Eagle TV, the China Research Center and the American Mandarin Society are co-hosting a series of online Chinese lectures "美国面面观" focusing on different aspects of the United States, including politics, society, diplomacy, civil organizations and race relations. The most recent episode, aired February 6, 2021, focuses on US-China diplomacy during the late Qing Dynasty.
This lecture, "中美相遇：大国外交与晚清兴衰，1784-1911", introduces the book of the same title by Dr. Wang Yuanchong (王元崇), Associate Professor in the Department of History, University of Delaware.
The talk addresses questions like: Which Chinese products did President George Washington enjoy? Which American president’s ancestor was an opium dealer? What was the earliest exchange between the United States and China? Who was the first exchange student in China? How did the Qing consular administration protect victimized Chinese workers? Why were Chinese children not allowed to enter school?
