Cole Walker is a junior at Duke University, where he is double-majoring in public policy and Chinese. He is passionate about the importance of U.S.-China relations, and hopes to use his knowledge of Chinese language and culture to give back to his own community by inspiring others, particularly African American youth, to learn about U.S.-China relations. As a Doha Debates Ambassador, he is looking forward to engaging with peers from around the world and learn about the positive impacts they have made in their own communities.
