Background

The organization focuses on issues of importance to the Chinese American community and China-United States relations.: 337–338  The committee was started with the encouragement of Henry Kissinger. The committee aims to serve as cultural ambassadors and to foster the exchange of ideas and various perspectives among its membership with those in the community and government. Committee delegations have been invited to give briefings to top officials at the White House and Zhongnanhai.

The committee has been noted to avoid criticism of the Chinese Communist Party and its policies. A 2018 report by the Hoover Institution and a 2020 Newsweek report noted that committee members have been targets of United Front Work Department pressure and influence operations.
