Chinese ambassador to U.S. calls for end of obstacles to educational exchanges

Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng has recently called for clearing obstacles to educational exchanges, voicing opposition to U.S. actions to deny the entry of certain Chinese students. Xie made the remarks at an event celebrating the 45th anniversary of China-U.S. student exchanges and the Spring Festival Gala for Chinese and American youths, held at the Chinese Embassy in Washington D.C. Sunday night. Echoing his remarks, Allan Goodman, the CEO of the Institute of International Education, said it's in "everybody's interest" that U.S. students and Chinese students understand each other's countries and societies.
