"Shandong University will attract more American students."

At a book donation ceremony at Shandong University, Huntsman said that The United States will push for more student exchanges with China over the next several years.

"Prominent universities in China like Shandong University will attract more American students," He said.

Strengthening interaction between students is the most basic way to develop trust between the two nations, he said. "The measure is intended to foster mutual understanding in the younger generation.".

"I see China through my daughter's eyes."

The gentleman beamed when he talked about his adopted daughter from China - Gracie Mei. "I think I'm the luckiest father; Gracie gives us new life. I see China through her eyes. She is very important to me and my family."
