Renowned economist Tian Xuan, chair professor at Tsinghua University's PBC School of Finance, has called for renewed diplomatic engagement between China and the United States during a keynote interview at the 2025 Tsinghua PBCSF Global Finance Forum. Speaking to CGTN, Tian emphasized that "mutual benefits through discussion" could realign bilateral relations amid ongoing geopolitical complexities.
The scholar identified a critical 90-day window for constructive dialogue, suggesting such efforts could stabilize trade flows and foster innovation partnerships. "Shared economic interests outweigh transient disagreements," Tian noted, highlighting technology collaboration and climate finance as potential breakthrough areas.
This appeal comes as global markets monitor cross-Pacific policy shifts, particularly in semiconductor trade and green energy investments. Analysts suggest Tian's academic stature lends weight to calls for pragmatic engagement, though implementation challenges remain.
The forum, attended by 1,200 delegates from 40 countries and regions, serves as a barometer for Asia's evolving financial landscape. Tian's remarks align with growing calls from multinational corporations for predictable China-US economic ties.
