Business leaders and officials from the Chinese mainland and the San Francisco Bay Area convened in Berkeley, California, on Friday, December 5, to explore new avenues for cross-Pacific trade and investment. The dialogue, held amid growing economic interdependence, focused on sustainable technology partnerships, supply chain resilience, and mutual market access opportunities.
California city officials emphasized the Bay Area’s role as a hub for innovation, while Chinese delegates highlighted recent policy reforms to streamline foreign investments. “Collaboration in green energy and AI could redefine our economic landscapes,” stated a senior representative from the Chinese delegation, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The discussions align with broader efforts to stabilize China-US economic relations following recent trade tensions. Analysts note that the Bay Area’s tech-driven economy and China’s manufacturing prowess create natural synergies, particularly in renewable energy infrastructure projects.
