2015年CRI Washington Governor Excited about Xi's Upcoming Visit

 

"Well, first time here, I watched him afar. Of course, I'm very excited about this, because it's such an exciting moment of continuing to expand all our relationships."

Inslee says as early as April this year, he sent out his invitation to President Xi in hopes of his visit to Seattle. 

He says one of the most important factors to Xi Jinping's Seattle visit is the multi-dimensional cooperation between Washington State and China. 

"The cooperation between China and Washington State has not just one, two or three platforms of growing relationships but many. We know that China is the largest export market from state of Washington; we know the Washington State is the largest exporting state in the United States to China. We have such burgeoning¹ relationships in high technology, in clean-energy technology to help with our area issues."

With regard to the China-U.S. relationship, Inslee says the two countries should focus on the common interests instead of the differences. 

"Because of the growth of the Chinese economy, which has been spectacular²; because of the interest in high technology of both countries; because of our mutual³ interest in economic growth and shared admiration⁴ for technology, we have huge mutual interest here that we should build upon, we should see as great asset⁵ both in America and China."

President Xi is scheduled to visit Seattle and Washington D.C. starting from next Tuesday.

In Seattle, he will attend a welcoming banquet jointly⁶ held by local government and friendly organizations, and deliver a speech on China-US relations.
