On the eve of the Spring Festival marking the Year of the Horse, President Xi Jinping replied to friends in the U.S. state of Iowa and sent them a New Year card. Xi Jinping wrote that “41 years ago when I visited Iowa, I received your warm hospitality, and those fond memories remain fresh in my mind to this day.” He also noted that the hope of the China-U.S. relationship lies in the people, its foundation is in grassroots connections, its future depends on the youth, and its vitality comes from subnational exchanges.
