New York City's Pace University is hoping to be a location that links east and west.

With its unique location, and as the fourth in New York and fifty-eighth in the entire US, this Confucius Institute bears some distinctive characteristics.

Stephen Friedman, the president of Pace University says, other than functioning as a new bridge between Chinese and American people, the institute can improve the relationship between Pace University and Chinese communities in US.
