“John Rogers’ presentation was one of the Center's best Dialogues.  He managed to deliver a lot of interesting information with delightful humor” . . .
“ You are a stand-up comic with a serious message.  Your presentation was absolutely splendid. I know it pained you to give up portions of your longer work, but this shorter version was still a complete hit with all of your audience.” Nancy Stevenson, Center Director

40th Anniversary of Ping-Pong Diplomacy

Review of the history of US and China relationship following Ping-Pong diplomacy and Nixon visit to Beijing in 1972

December 2011

Former president of the Midwest US Chinese Association John Rogers also gave a presentation on the relationship and how the two countries had become closer through the years.

Although Rogers' slides included the requisite charts tracking China's rapid economic growth, his and the crowd's favorite parts were a series of black and white pictures all done in the same ping pong diplomacy spirit, from Nixon getting a chopsticks lesson from Zhou Enlai, to Deng Xiaoping trying on a cowboy hat in Texas.

Both Rogers and Yang agreed that perhaps the most important thing for strengthening China-US relations in the future were these very ordinary people-to-people exchanges that take place everyday in cross-cultural friendships, and the continued learning experiences such exchanges present.
