Neil Bush: China-US trade win-win for both

Businesses to stay and increase investment despite tariffs

Neil Bush, son of former US president George H.W. Bush, says that bilateral trade has been good for both China and the United States, and that despite the tariff barriers put up by the Trump administration, US companies are not leaving China. In fact, many of them are actually planning to invest more there, he said.

"The reality is that the US-China relationship has led to the greatest economic development that could ever have been imagined," Bush, founder and chairman of George H.W. Bush Foundation for US-China Relations, said from a historical perspective.

"Our bilateral trade relationship, which is part of the whole process of globalization, has led America to become the greatest, strongest nation on the face of the planet. We've been at full employment for many years," he said in a recent interview with China Daily.
