Background

The organization focuses on issues of importance to the Chinese American community and China-United States relations.^[4]^{: 337–338} The committee was started with the encouragement of Henry Kissinger.^[5] The committee aims to serve as cultural ambassadors and to foster the exchange of ideas and various perspectives among its membership with those in the community and government.^[6] Committee delegations have been invited to give briefings to top officials at the White House and Zhongnanhai.^[2]
