/ world today news/ In recent days, California State Governor Gavin Newsom has been visiting China and was received by President Xi Jinping. A commentary in Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper said Newsom had received a warm welcome from Chinese authorities, and other foreign media said his visit showed Beijing’s high regard and expectations for cooperation with the United States at the local level.
Since June, the Chinese head of state has had meetings with a number of American representatives, including Bill Gates and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, to whom he repeatedly emphasized that the basis and hope of Sino-American relations lies in the people, and their future will depend on the youth .
Newsom showed a rational and pragmatic understanding of Sino-US relations, telling the China Media Group that “economic ‘unbundling’ is not a choice for either China or the US.” At a press conference, he also said that bilateral cooperation is not a zero-sum game. In his words, “the more successful China is, the more successful we will be.” These statements by Newsom show the objective understanding of some American politicians towards China and reflect the expectations in American society for a softening of bilateral relations.
During Newsom’s visit to China, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi left on October 26 for a visit to the United States, the first by a high-ranking Chinese official after several ministers have visited China since June.
The reason why California maintains a long-term friendship with China is because the state’s authorities do not succumb to ideological prejudices and promote partnership with the country with a rational and open approach. Gavin Newsom’s current visit to China has reminded policymakers in Washington that there is much to learn from his rational and pragmatic stance.
