With this post, I would like to introduce you the speech made by Mr.
John M. Dunn, President of Western Michigan University, Opening of Confucius Classrooms in
Portage Public Schools. The speech was delivered on October 24, 2011. However I just came across it on line. This serves as an indicator that Dr. Dave Wang's research has been widely cited throughout the country. Below I will quote from his excellent speech:
American links to Confucius and China reach far into our past:
➢ Recently learned, for example, that in 1737, Benjamin Franklin
published part of the book THE MORALS OF CONFUCIUS in his
PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE.
➢ FRANKLIN was interested in the ways Confucius linked moral
behavior between the common people and the government1 and
thought Americans could learn from Confucian thought.
➢ Thomas Jefferson incorporated numerous Chinese architectural
designed in his home at Monticello and in other buildings that he
designed.2

It is not usual that Dr. Dave Wang's publications used at teaching text in American universities. I have across another major universities that has adopted Dr. Wang's papers on Chinese cultural influence on the history of the United States. Montana State University has used Dr. Wang's articles in its classrooms. With this post I show you the snapshot through which you can find the information such as, which Dr.Wang's papers are used and in what class. 
With this post, I will introduce my readers the report from Franklin Gazette Friend Dave Wang reports that his
works on Benjamin Franklin and China
have recently been warmly received in
Hawaii where his work is recommended
for history classrooms and in India where
The Indian Institute of Oriental Studies
has published his article in its journal, The
Historical Review: A Biannual Journal of
History and Archaeology. This brings the
number of countries to seven that have
either published his papers or invited
him to deliver lectures on his research:
Australia, China, India, Italy, Portugal,
the United Kingdom and the United
States of America. In April 2009, he was
invited to present his work on BenjaminFranklin and the Great Wall of China at
Benjamin Franklin House in London (seen
above). More information is available at:

paper, “Benjamin Franklin, George
