Hey there, tech and biz trailblazers! 🚀 At last Thursday’s CGCC annual gala in Washington D.C., Chinese Ambassador to the US Xie Feng dropped some key insights on the future of China-US relations – and why this matters for young pros in South & Southeast Asia.
“When it comes to major issues bearing on our sovereignty, security and development interests, there is no room for compromise at all,” Xie said, stressing China’s sincerity paired with clear principles. But don’t get it wrong – cooperation still wins! 🤝
Ambassador Xie reminded us that despite global ups and downs, “both countries gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation.” He pointed to the Busan meeting consensus from last year, urging both sides to expand collaboration, cut through red tape, and keep ties steady and sustainable.
So what’s in it for you? Whether you’re building the next unicorn in Bengaluru or launching a fintech startup in Jakarta, a stable China-US vibe unlocks more partnerships, funding flows, and cross-border projects. ⚡
Xie also highlighted China’s “strategic choice to pursue high-quality development and high-standard opening-up.” Translation: China’s doors stay open, and that means more opportunities for global talent and innovators!
Plus, for those eyeing US-China joint ventures, the ambassador called on the American side to ensure a fair playground – from visa facilitation to border entry – avoiding needless hurdles. 🛂🌏
The gala crowd of 300 business leaders cheered on several companies recognized for boosting economic growth and cultural exchange. And Michael Franco from Vornado Realty Group summed it up: “Professionalism, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to long-term success” pave the way forward.
With CGCC marking its 21st year since 2005, this gathering is more than a fancy dinner – it’s a signal flare for young pros across Asia: global showdowns are out, genuine win-wins are in. Let’s tune into that frequency! 🎯
