相对于在美国留学的中国学生，美国学生在中国学习的人数可谓少之又少。但是美国——在中国的合作和大力支持下——成立了一个独立的非营利性组织，旨在改变这种状况。

美国国务卿希拉里·克林顿（Hillary Rodham Clinton）指出，“10万人留学中国计划基金会”（100,000 Strong Foundation）的目标是，到2014年，使美国学生在中国留学人数达到10万人，而且不断在未来岁月中增进学生交换。
克林顿国务卿在1月24日为新基金会成立举行的活动上发表讲话时说，虽然社交媒体能够让世界各地的学生相互联系，但什么都比不上面对面的接触，“我们希望给[学生们]一个机会去形成一种货真价实的关系……”，通过人与人的接触，“相互认识，相互理解”。
中国驻美国大使张业遂称“10万人留学中国计划基金会”是“对未来明智的投资”，并指出，中国正在提供10,000个奖学金名额，帮助美国学生在中国学习。

Just a fraction of American students study in China, compared to Chinese students in the United States. But the United States — with China’s cooperation and strong support — has launched an independent, nonprofit organization focused on changing this ratio.

The goal of the 100,000 Strong Foundation, according to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, is to increase the number of American students studying in China to 100,000 by 2014 and to continue to strengthen the student exchanges for years to come.
Although social media allows students the world over to connect, nothing beats face-to-face contact, Clinton said. “We want to give [students] a chance to form ‘the real deal’ — getting to know each other, getting to understand each other” via in-person contact, she said at a January 24 event launching the new foundation.
Chinese Ambassador to the United States Zhang Yesui called the 100,000 Strong Foundation a “smart investment in the future” and noted that China is offering 10,000 scholarships to help American students study in China.
