On November 15, 2023, Chinese President Xi Jinping pointed out in his speech at the joint welcome banquet of American friendly groups in San Francisco that the foundation of Sino-US relations is poured by the people, the door to Sino-US relations is opened by the people, the story of Sino-US relations is written by the people, and the future of Sino-US relations is created by the people.

"The future is in youth." Over the years, President Xi Jinping attached great importance to and personally promoted friendly exchanges between young people in China and the United States, visited and met again and again, and sent congratulatory letters and reply letters, which narrowed the distance between the hearts of young people in China and the United States.

At the beginning of the new year of 2025, President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan gave New Year greetings to the teachers and students of Washington State Middle School in the United States, sending New Year greetings, hoping that young people from China and the United States will "strengthen exchanges and interactions, enhance mutual understanding, inherit traditional friendship, and contribute to promoting the development of China-US relations and promoting world peace."

"The future of Sino-US relations is created by the people." Romero Rocha, a student at Lincoln Middle School in the United States, said, "I am full of confidence that we can build a bridge of friendship between the two countries!"
