HOUSTON, April 1 (Xinhua) -- A harmonious, conflict-free relations and a win-win cooperation between the United States and China are no doubt important, a well-known U.S. expert said here on Friday.

"As the two largest economies in the world, if the United States and China do not cooperate with each other, the world will be less in place," Mark Jones, a professor of political science at the Houston-based Rice University, said in an interview with Xinhua.

"For the world economy's prosperity and to avoid a trade war, it requires cooperation between the U.S. and China. If the U.S. and China get into a trade war, what suffers most is going to be the global economy, of course including the two countries," Mark said.

"For prosperity and harmony to exist on earth, there must be harmony in U.S.-China relations," Mark said.

"U.S. President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, and U.S. Ambassador-designate to China Terry Branstad are all well aware that a harmonious, cooperative, and conflict-free relationship between China and the United States is a win-win situation for both countries and the world, while a discordant, uncooperative, and conflictual relationship between the countries is a lose-lose situation for both countries and the world," the expert warned.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has said that "The peace and progress of the world depend on the abilities of the U.S. and China to respect each other's core interests, and to modify the core interests in order to make cooperation possible."
