The USC U.S.-China Institute informs public discussion of the evolving and multidimensional U.S.-China relationship through policy-relevant research, graduate and undergraduate training, and professional development programs for teachers, journalists, and officials. It produces compelling public events, widely-viewed documentary films, and the popular magazine US-China Today. USCI was established in 2006 as a university initiative. It's creation was first announced in Beijing during a Board of Trustees trip to China. In fall 2011, USCI became part of the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, whose programs include those on public diplomacy, new Chinese media, economics reporting and health journalism.
