The United States and China need to resume collaboration and find ways to dial down the temperature as the two countries are interdependent and connected, said Gary Locke, former U.S. ambassador to China.
Locke, also chairman of Committee of 100, a non-profit organization of prominent Chinese Americans, made the remarks at a virtual media roundtable on the sidelines of a virtual conference on U.S.-China relations held by the committee that ended on Wednesday.
For the benefit of the world, the United States and China must strive to find common ground to work together because so many of the issues facing the world cannot be solved by the United States or by China alone, said Locke in his opening remarks at the conference.
