Addressing the third China-U.S. Governors' Forum in Seattle, Mr. Xi outlined a three-point proposal for the development of bilateral cooperation at the local level. First, China and the United States should make effective use of the opportunities created by the size of their economies.
Second, the two countries should share the benefits generated by their respective reform and development policies.
Third, China and the United States should tap the potential of their complementary advantages.
Xi said he attaches great importance to people-to-people exchanges between China and the United States, calling on Chinese provinces and U.S. states to communicate and cooperate in such areas as education, tourism, sports and youth.
