BEIJING, Nov. 22 (Xinhuanet) -- U.S President Donald Trump's visit to China in early November is a positive step for China and the U.S. to work together for future cooperation, said Bob Huff, former California State Senate Minority Leader and former Senate Republican Leader.
He said this in a recent interview with Xinhuanet in Beijing.
Trump is the first head of state to visit China since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
Huff said he was glad to see Trump visited China in this special moment, which helped to strengthen bilateral ties.
Economic and trade cooperation is a prominent piece of China-U.S. relations, and also one of the most important issues discussed during the visit.
With the signing of commercial deals between the two countries worth 253.5 billion U.S. dollars, Huff believed there are a lot of opportunities to grow.
In this regard, he mentioned jobs as one focus on which China and the United States have built consensus.
China has brought job opportunities to the United States through economic and trade engagement.
This was “positive and a good thing for both countries,” he stressed.
California plays a leading role in high technology, bio technology and entertainments represented by Hollywood in the United States, he added.
They will create a lot of rooms for the two nations to cooperate in the future, he said.
Huff also believed if China and U.S. can work together in areas such as high technology and develop more trust in intellectual property, it will help strengthen their companies.
He also hoped there will be more constant dialogues and visits so as to help the two countries act timely whenever there are problems in the future.
Bob Huff visited China this month, seeking enhanced economic, cultural and people-to-people exchanges with Chinese side for his state.
