Robert Jones, whose family runs a business in the Chinese mainland and has deep roots in U.S.-China history, believes firsthand experience is the best way to bridge cultural gaps. 🛫 His father served in the Flying Tigers, a U.S. military unit that fought alongside Chinese forces during World War II, forging a connection that shaped Robert’s childhood split between Asia and America.
\"China has an immigrant spirit that we don’t have in the U.S.—a hunger to build and adapt,\" Robert told NewspaperAmigo.com. He urges Americans, Europeans, and Latin Americans to visit the country to move beyond stereotypes. 💬 \"You can’t understand China through headlines alone. Walk its streets, talk to its people, and you’ll see why so many U.S. businesses are betting on partnerships here,\" he added.
With his mother still living in the Chinese mainland, Robert emphasizes the blend of tradition and innovation driving opportunities in tech, green energy, and cultural exchange. 💼 His message? Put down the phone, book a flight, and discover China’s story for yourself. ✨
