Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 27, 2014, — This year is the 35th anniversary of the establishment of China-U.S. relations. In the short span of 35 years, the ship of China-U.S. relations has forged ahead, come rain or shine. It has brought tremendous benefits to the two peoples and contributed greatly to world peace and development.
At the 2014 Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) summit, the two countries have reached agreements on cutting CO2 emissions, reducing or eliminating tariff on technology products, extending visas and other consensus that would create tangible benefits to the two peoples. On December 4th, Harvard US-China Economic Interaction Council (HUCEIC) invited Meifang Zhang, the Deputy Consul General of the Chinese Consulate General in New York, to share her experiences and insights about Sino-U.S. relations.
