China’s interest in the West is strong and growing, University of Nebraska-Lincoln associate professor Joseph Weber told staffers at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services department in Lincoln. Weber delivered his talk in person to a group at one of two CIS facilities in Lincoln and it was simulcast electronically to a group at the service’s second facility. Weber taught business and economic journalism and multimedia journalism in China under the aegis of the International Center for Journalists, a Washington group that encourages the growth of journalism around the world.
