[Provided to China Daily] A high school in Tacoma, Washington, was once again pleased to receive a message from China. It was the second time they received such a communication, the first in 2016 — from Chinese President Xi Jinping. About four weeks ago, Patrick Erwin, principal of Lincoln High School, sent a communication to President Xi. He wrote about the exchanges between his school and China over the past years and how the educational partnership is important to his students.
