Letter from the President

Founded in 2001, The Washington Institute of China Studies (WICS), is a politically independent, non-profit organization [Section 501(c)3] based in Washington D.C., the United States, dedicated to improving relations and understanding between the only two superpowers of the 21st century, the United States (US) and the People’s Republic of China (PRC). It is essential that these two countries that are so different in terms of political ideology, economic systems, culture, population density, history and concepts of freedom learn to understand each other and thereby simply get along with each other.

We are publishing the Journal of Washington Institute of China Studies to promote research on China, and U.S.-China relationships. We also plan to organize academic communications and dialogue between China and USA. In addition, we intend to organize charitable activities to support and help combat poverty, and improve education and the quality of living in China.

Dr. Bernard Pitsvada
President, WICS
