The event is a scalable approach to helping Americans better understand and access China and the corresponding opportunities. the team CHINAWEEK, in partnership with prominent Los Angeles based institutions, seeks to increase understanding of and access to China, foster cultural and economic opportunities, and strengthen relationships between the citizens of the US and China. CHINAWEEK is a project of Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs (SEE), a nonprofit public charity exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
