On May 28, 2025, President Yang Wanming of the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC) held a virtual meeting with the visiting girls flag football team from Lincoln High School in Washington State, USA. CPAFFC Vice President Shen Xin and other CPAFFC officials were present at the meeting.
President Yang extended a warm welcome to the team. He noted that sports serve as a powerful bridge for promoting people-to-people friendship. It is hoped that through this visit, the delegation can gain a deeper understanding of China, strengthen bonds with Chinese youngsters through friendly matches and exchanges, continue to write new stories of friendship between Lincoln High School and China, and jointly contribute to the friendship between Chinese and American peoples.
The American team members thanked the CPAFFC for the invitation to China and shared their excitement about meeting and interacting with their Chinese peers. They emphasized the value of mutual learning and friendship through youth exchange. During their stay, they're impressed by China's natural landscapes and rich cultural heritage, which significantly deepened their knowledge of the country. They look forward to sharing their experiences with classmates upon returning home and becoming youth ambassadors for China-U.S. friendship.
