Abstract

As the social foundation of the Belt and Road initiative, “People-to-People Bond” is the basis for cooperation between China and the countries along the Belt and Road. Through the grass-roots interaction, the US Peace Corps aims to promote mutual understanding between the United States and developing countries. Over more than half a century of history, the United States Peace Corps has achieved fruitful results in achieving the people-to-people exchanges between the United States and the host countries of the Peace Corps. The Peace Corps integrates foreign aid and cultural exchanges, attaches importance to grass-roots exchanges, pays attention to the training of volunteers' cross-cultural adaptability, and is good at spreading the influence of exchanges in the United States. These practices are worthy of reference in the link of the "People-to-People Bond" of China's promoting Belt and Road Initiative.
