California Governor Newsom Visit Boosts U.S.-China Relations, Climate Collaboration

California Governor Gavin Newsom said a “divorce” between the U.S. and China is not an option, during a weeklong visit to China that wrapped up Sunday, expressing hopes to take the collaboration momentum that he gained during the trip back home with him.

“I came with a mindset that is framed in the capacity that your success here in China is our success in the United States and globally,” Newsom said during a media event at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing on Oct. 27, amid signs of stabilizing ties between the world’s two largest economies.
