Stephen Orlins, president of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations and a leading American expert on China, has been a witness to the evolution of China-U.S. relations over the years. As one of the few Americans with such extensive experience, his insights into the latest developments between the two nations carry significant weight.
Orlins believes that the recent measures between China and the United States highlight both challenges and opportunities. He reflects on how today’s decision-makers can continue the legacy of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, who envisioned a future of international cooperation.
“The dynamics between China and the U.S. are undergoing significant changes,” says Orlins. “It’s crucial for both nations to recognize the potential for collaboration, even amidst challenges.”
He emphasizes the importance of mutual understanding and dialogue in navigating the complexities of the bilateral relationship. According to Orlins, by building on Carter’s vision, the two countries can find common ground to address global issues.
“The opportunities for cooperation are vast,” Orlins notes. “But we must also be candid about the challenges we face and work together to overcome them.”
As the world watches the interactions between China and the U.S., voices like Orlins’ offer valuable perspectives on fostering a constructive and forward-looking partnership.
