China supports stronger people-to-people exchanges between China and the United States, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said on Tuesday in Beijing.
She made the remarks at a regular press briefing responding to a question about the widely shared story of American David V. Plymire and his ties with Huangyuan County in northwest China's Qinghai Province.
"David V. Plymire, an American now 95 years old, lived in Huangyuan County, Qinghai Province, for 17 years and regards it as his hometown. He has helped raise funds to donate medical equipment, provided financial aid for local education, and facilitated training opportunities in the U.S. for local English teachers," said Mao.
"People-to-people friendship holds the key to state-to-state relations. The exchanges between the Chinese and American people are like small streams that ultimately converge to form the vast river of China-U.S. friendship. China will continue to support people-to-people exchanges and cultural interactions between the two countries, and contribute to building a constructive relationship of strategic stability on the basis of respect, fairness and reciprocity," she said.

The China Media Group's (CMG's) "Win in AI+" is airing as a program dedicated to building China's leading platform for artificial intelligence entrepreneurship, with a "media plus" approach that connects entrepreneurs, investors, local governments, and experts and scholars in a full-factor ecosystem.
Positioned at the start of the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), the program aims to uncover scalable and replicable AI "China solutions" and identify China's next generation of AI "little dragons."
The second season of "Win in AI+" has formed a recruitment system featuring a "China home base with global participation." Its 29 roadshows have covered eight domestic and international AI innovation hubs — Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Tianjin, Hong Kong, and Singapore — drawing more than 1,000 AI startups in total. This marks the program's official shift from "deep domestic cultivation" to a new stage of "global connectivity."
Notably, in July this year, the CMG was invited to launch a special overseas edition of "Win in AI+" at the "AI for Good" Global Summit in Geneva, Switzerland, showcasing China's AI innovation achievements to the rest of the international community and engaging in in-depth dialogue with top global research institutions and international organizations, allowing the explorations and reflections of Chinese AI innovators to be "seen" by the rest of the world.
