The founder and president of ACAA, Mr. Peter Gao indicates, this event has significant meaning to our association, yet it also provides significance of influence to sport circle and community.

Three months later, the National Security Advisor of the United States, Henry Kissinger, arrived in China.\u00a0 Premier Zhou Enlai met with Mr. Kissinger and reached an agreement under the auspices of an initiative that came to be known as Ping-Pong Diplomacy. On February 21, 1972, President Nixon\u2019s China trip effectively melted the ice between the U.S. and China.\u201d This is the main purpose that encourages ACAA to host this event: to retrospect the history and to built a better future together!\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
