This article presents information on the visit by the delegation of the Association of Computing Machinery to China. An exchange of technical and cultural information between the two societies was made possible with the ACM delegation's tour of China. This was the beginning of a useful dialogue. This article is a summary of the delegation's experience in China. The delegation arrived in Beijing on November 9. The first morning they visited the North China Research Institute of Computing Technology. Their host was Jiang Xueguo, the Deputy Director and Deputy Chief Engineer. Jiang was one of the Chinese Institute of Electronics delegates who visited ACM 81 in Los Angeles. The article informs that the Institute is developing computers, some of these have been put into limited production. Two classes of machines have been developed. One is fully compatible with the DEC PDP 8 and 11 machines and the other is a 32-bit machine similar to the IBM 360s, although not compatible. The institute's focus is mainly on engineering development. Among a staff of about 1000, 800 are scientific and technical personnel. The hosts pointed out that one of their major problems in China is the lack of applications programmers.
