People say that the wonderful Internet is the fourth medium. For us at the Embassy, it is also the most effective way to reach out to the general public of the United States. As much as we would like to do a good job with our website, we know it is not easy, especially when people have such diverse and colorful interests to cater to. Thanks to the technological upgrading, our website can now link with almost all the major government and media websites in China and our diplomatic missions around the world. With a few effortless clicks, you may have China, an ancient country of 1.3 billion people with one of the world's fastest growing economies, unfold right on your computer screens.

I hope that  you will find here all the information you need about China, its people, its domestic and international policies, as well as useful information about traveling to China, including applying for Chinese Visas and Passports. 

I wish you an enjoyable and productive visit. We would like to hear your comments as to how we can further improve our service.

Sincerely yours,

Zhou Wenzhong
Ambassador
