Chinese Ambassador to the U.S. Xie Feng delivered a powerful message at this week's U.S.-China Business Council gala: Economic cooperation isn't just beneficial โ it's essential. ๐ก 'Mutual benefit has all along been the defining feature of our ties,' he declared, addressing business leaders under the event's theme 'Seeking a New Path for U.S.-China Relations.'
Why Cooperation Matters Now
With global growth slowing faster than a TikTok trend losing steam ๐, Xie warned against protectionism, calling it like 'drinking poison to quench thirst.' His solution? Double down on partnership. 'Investing in China is investing in the future,' he urged, positioning the world's second-largest economy as a growth engine for all.
A Call to Action
The ambassador outlined three keys to success:
- Follow through on agreements from the June 5 Xi-Trump call
- Respect China's 'red lines' on sovereignty and development
- Keep business leaders championing dialogue
As tensions simmer over tech and trade, Xie's message cuts through the noise: The real power move? Building bridges, not walls. ๐
