BEIJING, Nov. 23 (Xinhuanet) -- The 19th CPC National Congress has brought good scope for China’s future development, said Bob Huff, former California State Senate Minority Leader and former Senate Republican Leader.
He made the remarks in a recent interview with Xinhuanet in Beijing.
Huff first highlighted the importance of the congress which was held in Beijing last month.
It laid out plans for China in the next five years, Huff noted.
In the report to the congress, the concept of “building a community of shared future for the mankind” is stressed.
Huff illustrated his understanding of this concept, saying that a win-win relationship is what all nations agree upon.
On the contrary, a win-lose relationship is not sustainable, according to him.
He suggested that nations across the world should try to seek common grounds through communications, cooperation and diplomacy.
To promote international cooperation for the Belt and Road Initiative is also underscored in the report.
Huff is optimistic about the prospect of the Belt and Road Initiative, which was proposed by China in 2013.
“China is reaching back to its strength in the past,” said Huff, meaning that the ancient Silk Trade routes, through which Chinese silk, tea and stories were introduced to the west, is being revived by this modern initiative.
China has a positive impact on the rest of the world through trade, and it has become a key part of that, Huff stressed.
With its population and growing economy, the Belt and Road Initiative is going to build for the future, he believed.
As a former senator of California, Huff also offered his initiative, saying that California can lead by example in cooperation with China.
