The China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), in partnership with the Chinese consulate and other trade organizations, hosted a significant networking forum in New York on Monday. The event gathered over 300 representatives from Chinese and American companies and business associations, underscoring ongoing efforts to enhance trade opportunities and foster stronger economic ties between China and the United States.
Ren Hongbin, chairman of the CCPIT, addressed the attendees, emphasizing the pivotal role of economic and trade cooperation in China-U.S. relations. “China and the U.S. have strong economic complementarities and deeply intertwined interests,” Ren stated. He noted that over the 45 years since the establishment of diplomatic ties, the collaboration between the two nations has significantly deepened.
Ren highlighted that enhancing supply chain cooperation is vital for maintaining the stability and efficiency of global industrial and supply chains. “The common interests between China and the U.S. are increasing instead of decreasing,” he said. Ren pointed out that both countries have shared interests and ample opportunities for cooperation in traditional sectors like trade and agriculture, as well as in emerging fields such as climate change and artificial intelligence.
The optimism expressed by Ren was echoed by other attendees at the forum. John Wang, president of the Asian American Business Development Center, shared his positive outlook on the future of China-U.S. economic relations. “Our continued partnership will not only enhance bilateral relations but will also contribute to global economic stability and growth,” Wang remarked.
The forum provided a platform for business leaders from both nations to discuss potential collaborations and to deepen understanding of each other’s markets. The event signifies a mutual recognition of the benefits that sustained cooperation can bring, not only to China and the U.S. but to the global economy as a whole.
As the world’s two largest economies, China and the United States play a critical role in shaping global economic trends. Events like this networking forum highlight the importance of dialogue and collaboration in addressing global challenges and promoting economic development.
