Social media trends, cutting-edge technology and visa-free transit policies are giving young Americans the chance to move beyond stereotypes and experience the real China firsthand. Where do Chinese and American cultures differ most, and where do they find unexpected common ground? How can the next generation bridge the gap through genuine dialogue? In this episode of PD Roundtable, we sit down with American students Christopher Ross and Mikaela Durán, along with Chinese student Zhang Ziye, to discuss their cross-cultural journeys and the lessons they've learned on both sides of the Pacific.
