"A certain number of Americans are already in Peking and most of us here feel that it would be very useful for the United States and especially for the Left-wing progressive movement in the United States if groups of students such as you mention could make a tour of China"
- Anna Louise Strong
About this Quote
In this quote, Anna Louise Strong is expressing her belief that it would be useful for the United States and the Left-wing progressive movement if groups of American students were to visit China. She discusses that there are already some Americans in Peking (now referred to as Beijing), and she believes that having more trainees visit would work. This could potentially lead to a much better understanding and relationship in between the 2 nations, in addition to supply important insights and perspectives for the Left-wing progressive movement in the United States. Strong sees this as an opportunity for cultural exchange and growth, and thinks it might have a favorable influence on both countries.
