Regarding the recent exchange of visits between young table tennis delegations from China and the United States, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated on the 9th that the continuation of the friendly chapter of "table tennis diplomacy" through the exchange of visits has injected new strength into the civil exchanges between China and the United States. At the regular press conference that day, a reporter asked: After the San Francisco meeting between China and the United States, there have been some friendly exchanges between higher education institutions of the two countries. Recently, the Peking University table tennis team visited the United States and the University of Virginia table tennis team visited China. May I ask if the spokesperson has any comments? Mao Ning said that recently, Peking University's table tennis team was invited to visit the United States to participate in the US Open Table Tennis Tournament and a series of events commemorating the "table tennis diplomacy" between China and the United States held by the Chinese Embassy and Consulate General in the United States. They had close exchanges and interactions with American "table tennis diplomacy" witnesses, young students, and local people. The University of Virginia table tennis team was invited to visit China and participated in the "China US Youth Table Tennis Exchange Event" at Tsinghua University. The exchange of visits between Chinese and American youth table tennis delegations continues to write a friendly chapter in "table tennis diplomacy", injecting new strength into the civil exchanges between China and the United States. Mao Ning stated that the hope of China US relations lies in the people, the foundation lies in the people, the future lies in the youth, and the vitality lies in the local areas. 53 years ago, young table tennis players from China and the United States kicked off the normalization of Sino US relations in Beijing, achieving the beautiful story of "small balls turning big balls". The more frequent the exchanges between the two peoples, the more solid the public opinion foundation, the broader the space, and the stronger the driving force for the development of China US relations. Mao Ning said, "China is willing to work with the United States to implement the important consensus of the San Francisco Summit between China and the United States to promote cultural exchanges, promote the spirit of 'ping pong diplomacy', and continuously write a new chapter of friendship between the Chinese and American people."
