As global tensions rise amid trade disputes, one American lawyer believes that an open mindset is the key to fostering cultural cooperation between the United States and China.
Keith Kelly, an attorney specializing in the entertainment, technology, and advertising sectors, shared his insights on the future of U.S.-China relations during an interview with CGTN. Kelly, who studied Chinese law at Peking University, has dedicated his career to navigating cross-border entertainment and intellectual property issues, delving deep into U.S.-China trade and entertainment law.
Kelly emphasized that maintaining an open mindset is crucial for successful cross-cultural collaboration. “By embracing each other’s cultural differences, participants can gain a deeper understanding and appreciation,” he said. This understanding allows creators and innovators to draw from a rich tapestry of perspectives, sparking new ideas and inspiration.
He acknowledged that cultural differences can present challenges, but he views these challenges as opportunities for growth. “These hurdles encourage both sides to learn and evolve,” Kelly noted. “Through open dialogue and mutual respect, the U.S. and China can achieve deeper exchanges and cooperation in the cultural realm.”
Such cooperation, according to Kelly, extends beyond the arts and entertainment industries. It plays a vital role in fostering mutual understanding and friendship between the peoples of both nations. “Cultural collaboration not only drives industry development but also bridges gaps between societies,” he added.
Kelly’s perspective comes at a time when U.S.-China relations are under scrutiny, especially with policy changes on the horizon. His call for openness and dialogue resonates with many who hope for strengthened ties through cultural exchange.
