Clinton praises success of Chinese study programs

Jennifer Whitman, a student at New York's Fordham Law School, may never have planned for a career linking her to China, but the prospect emerged from her experience of studying abroad two years ago. Whitman is among thousands of students from the United States who have come to China since 2010 through the 100,000 Strong Initiative. Announced by US President Barack Obama during his visit to China in November 2009 and launched in Beijing the following May by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the program aims to send 100,000 Americans to study in China by 2014. As more US students head to China, the number of Chinese on US campuses is at a record high. Reported China Daily
