\"Most Americans can't tolerate what I'll say about China,\" admits Neil Bush, son of former U.S. President George H.W. Bush and a key advocate for U.S.-China dialogue. With over 150 trips to the Chinese mainland since 1975, Bush has witnessed its transformation firsthand – and his insights are sparking conversations.
In an exclusive interview with CGTN, the George H. W. Bush Foundation for U.S.-China Relations chairman praised China's \"astounding economic leap\", calling it \"a story of resilience and innovation.\" As an investor, he highlighted opportunities in tech and green energy sectors, urging young entrepreneurs to \"look beyond headlines\" when evaluating markets.
But why the controversy? Bush criticizes \"toxic narratives\" in U.S. politics, arguing that \"collaboration, not confrontation, benefits both nations.\" His stance? \"China isn't collapsing – it's evolving,\" he says, pointing to rising consumer markets and digital infrastructure advancements.
With U.S.-China relations at a crossroads, Bush's message resonates with Gen Z's global mindset: \"Cultural understanding fuels progress.\" Will this bridge-building approach redefine diplomacy? Stay tuned.
