"With the (interpersonal) communication, they get to know that what they read in reports back in the US about China are not necessarily true," said Gwen Wade, the group leader of the 2016 Clark Atlanta Student Leaders Study Mission to China.

She added that visiting and communicating face to face is the best way for American students to learn about China.
