  Beijing, China - September 9, 2011 - While most American High School students would not recognize a high level Chinese official, American students studying at Beijing's No. 80 High School were elated to have a guest pop in unexpectedly to their Chinese lesson. As part of China's Teacher's Day celebration, China's President Hu Jintao visited with students participating in the National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y), a program run by American Councils for International Education. For the NSLI-Y students - coming from areas all around the United States, including Minnesota, Iowa, and Massachusetts - President Hu's visit underscored the importance of cultural exchange between the U.S. and China.
