Introduction

As the first international education institution in China after China's reform and opening up, the Johns Hopkins University-Nanjing University Center for Chinese and American Studies (the "Hopkins-Nanjing Center" or "HNC") was jointly established by two prestigious universities--Nanjing University and Johns Hopkins University. The universities signed a cooperation agreement in 1981. In 1982, the Vice Premiers of the State Council, Fang Yi, Wan Li, Yao Yilin, and Ji Pengfei, signed and approved the agreement. In 1986, the Hopkins-Nanjing Center officially opened its doors.
