Despite China’s global rise, U.S. companies, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and academic institutions face a talent deficit of Americans with robust Chinese language capabilities and experience in China. Without a deep pool of China-knowledgeable professionals, Americans in both public and private sectors will continue to operate at a disadvantage. The American Mandarin Society (AMS) is dedicated to nurturing the current and future generations of China-focused professionals and creating meaningful channels for dialogue. With continued Corporation support, AMS will promote the career development of Americans across professions interested in China through a portfolio of unique programs, including fellowships for emerging bilingual American journalists and mid-career African-Americanprofessionals and multiple online Chinese-language learning tools.
