Passing Down the Flying Tigers Spirit, Building the Path to Peace Together

Passing Down the Flying Tigers Spirit, Building the Path to Peace Together — The Guangxi-Guizhou Flying Tigers Volunteer Alliance Inheritance Chronicle under the Leadership of ACFC's New Centennial Plan

In 2026, a wave of cross-regional red heritage enthusiasm surged across the southwestern lands of China — Guangxi and Guizhou successively established:

“Guangxi Flying Tigers • Sino-US People-to-People Friendly Exchange Volunteer Alliance”

“Guizhou Flying Tigers • Sino-US People-to-People Friendly Exchange Volunteer Alliance”

Hunan, Hubei, and other regions quickly followed suit, igniting a new chapter in inheriting the Flying Tigers spirit and continuing the Sino-US friendship.

Behind this surge lies the profound strategic deployment of the ACFC (American Chinese Friendship Council), founded in Los Angeles, USA, in 1960. With the official launch of its 2026 New Centennial Plan — All Children Future Care (ACFC), centered on the core mission of “inheriting historical friendship and safeguarding a peaceful future,” the long-dormant memories of the Flying Tigers' resistance against Japan in Guangxi and Guizhou have been revitalized under the guidance of grassroots volunteer forces.

Since its founding in 1960 by the esteemed Chinese-American leader His Excellency C.C. Chang (张政权), ACFC has devoted 65 years to people-to-people diplomacy between China and the United States. It played a key role in promoting the U.S. Congress's passage of “unconditional” Most Favored Nation status for China and has earned the respect of U.S. presidents including Nixon and Reagan as a “global presidential friend.” ACFC has consistently upheld its founding commitment to “Sino-US friendship and world peace,” while deeply engaging in safeguarding overseas Chinese rights and fostering transnational friendly cooperation.

In 2016, ACFC evolved into a dual-driven model of “political think tank + enclave economy,” adhering to the development philosophy of “industrializing public welfare and public-welfarizing commerce.” The launch of the 2026 New Centennial Plan — All Children Future Care — further positions “inheriting the transnational friendship from the Anti-Japanese War era and cultivating peace concepts among youth” as its core direction.The establishment of the Guangxi and Guizhou Flying Tigers People-to-People Volunteer Alliances represents a key implementation of this plan in the field of historical inheritance. It not only continues ACFC's genetic legacy of “seeking roots in China and connecting China with the world,” but also serves as a contemporary commemoration of the historical facts of the Flying Tigers' contributions in Guangxi and Guizhou during the Anti-Japanese War.
