Silicon Valley, Shenzhen set example for tech ties

Experts advocate embracing Chinese innovations and a reciprocal approach

The relationship between Silicon Valley and Shenzhen, often dubbed "China's Silicon Valley", exemplifies the mutual benefits of cooperation between US and Chinese technology companies.

Rather than viewing China's technological advancements as a "threat", prominent US-China business relations experts said such innovations should be welcomed and embraced.

Ker Gibbs, an executive in residence with the China Business Studies Initiative at the University of San Francisco, said Chinese companies have become increasingly competitive and innovative. He advocates a reciprocal approach, suggesting that the United States and China should learn from each other.
