2015年CRI China-U.S. Cooperation Benefits the World: Boeing Executive

 

|

During an exclusive interview with China Radio International, Bertrand Marc-Allen said he is excited about the visit by President Xi.

"The opportunity to host the president is historic--the 1970s, 1990s, 2006--this is just the fourth time in four decades. So we recognize the significance, the consequence and the importance of the visit. It will be a successful visit. I have absolutely no doubt. "

Marc-Allen says the newly implemented¹ "One Belt, One Road" initiatives and U.S. President Barack Obama's earlier visit to China last November have facilitated cooperation between the two countries, to the benefit of the global economy.

He says the U.S. business community is expecting good news from President Xi's upcoming visit, especially regarding the Bilateral² Investment Treaty currently being negotiated.

"I think all the CEOs will be talking about the value of the economic relationship, about their interests and seeing Bilateral Investment Treaty completed. I think all the CEOs will be focused on explaining the breadth and depth of their own China operations. "

Marc-Allen says he believes that fluctuations³ in finance markets and adjustments in foreign exchange rates are common, as China is transforming from export-oriented economy to consumer economy.

He also calls China a major force for global economic development, despite its temporary economic slowdown.

"For all of us, the real take of the last two years have been how much emerging markets are going to count on, depend on the bilateral relationship between China and the U.S. for their own strength. As our bilateral relationship is strong and healthy, our economic relationship will be stronger and healthier for it. And as our economy is strong, that will create the demand from developing economies that help them continue to grow."

The Boeing Company, located in the Seattle, Washington, has always been favored by Chinese leaders.

Former leaders, including Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, all visited the company in person during their visits to the Unites States.
