A positive Sino-US relationship is important for both countries

By Jose Nava

"The China-US relationship is one of great importance, China’s economy has developed at an unprecedented rate and it’s amazing to see this rapid development. The China-US relationship is very important, both countries have become dependent on each other and continuing a positive relationship is very important in order for both countries to succeed.

China and US should continue working towards a peaceful and sustainable relationship in order for both countries to thrive and succeed. President Obama and President Xi are both great leaders and I hope they both pave the way for a positive and friendly relationship for both countries.

As an American I see President Xi’s visit to our country as one filled with positivity, this will lead more Americans to understand the importance of having a positive relationship with China. US and China are two of the world's largest economies and it's important for both countries to keep a positive dialogue and work with each other in order to achieve mutual success.

I hope this visit helps the China-US relationship, it's a historical visit and one that will determine the future relationship of both countries. Our economies have become intertwined, the China-US relationship has come a long way and it has benefited both countries tremendously. One issue that both countries are working towards solving is Climate Change, the US and China have both pledged to cut carbon emissions. I'm happy to hear that both countries will work hard to make this world a healthier place to live in. Cooperation between both countries is what is needed right now and with President Obama and President Xi in office that is possible. I personally welcome China's rise and hope the Chinese people and American people continue to prosper.

The American people still have a lot to learn about China. China is a great country with great people and has an amazing history and culture. I'm excited about where the relationship is headed and I look forward to seeing mutual cooperation and trade between both amazing countries. President Xi and the Chinese people are always welcome in the United States."
