国内英语资讯:Interview: Expert says more rational public voices needed to improve U.S.-China ties

That's because agricultural contracts are normally based on long-term cooperation. Once their Chinese buyers sign long-term purchase agreements with partners in other countries, U.S. farmers will suffer huge losses, according to Gu.

The biggest risks facing businesses of the two countries also come from constant uncertainty not only in how much tariffs the United States intends to levy on Chinese imports, but also in the caprices of Washington's trade policy, Gu noted.

Yet he praised a recent open letter by former U.S. politicians and well-known scholars, saying that more rational voices are needed to shed light on the U.S.-China trade tensions for the mass public.

A group of 100 U.S. academics, diplomats, military and business experts signed an open letter published earlier this month, saying that branding China an enemy was counterproductive and calling on Washington to reexamine its policy toward China.

"Always blaming China can do nothing to help resolve trade problems. With the letter published, more objective and rational voices were heard by the public," said Gu. "You've got to present different and inclusive voices, so that Americans can judge by themselves."

He added that such opinions would also prompt more people to reconsider how to view the frictions and controversies between the two countries.

Moreover, the business insider also expressed his confidence in China-U.S. relations in the long run, given the historical development of bilateral ties over the past 40 years.
