As U.S.-China relations face economic headwinds, American lawyer Keith Kelly—a veteran in cross-border entertainment and tech—argues that cultural collaboration could be the glue that mends ties. 🔍 \"The key isn’t avoiding differences, but embracing them,\" Kelly told CGTN, drawing from his studies at Peking University and work on IP and trade issues.
From Tariffs to TikTok?
While tariffs dominate headlines, Kelly highlights untapped potential in creative industries: \"When filmmakers, musicians, or game developers fuse U.S. and Chinese ideas, magic happens. Think ‘Kung Fu Panda’ meets Chinese streaming trends. 🎥✨\" He credits this to open dialogue that turns challenges into growth opportunities.
Youth as Cultural Catalysts
Kelly sees digitally native generations as natural bridge-builders: \"Young creators don’t just swap memes—they remix values. A TikTok dance trend today could inspire a joint VR project tomorrow.\" His takeaway? Mutual respect in arts and tech could soften geopolitical edges—one collab at a time. 💡
