In a recent interview with CGTN, Keith Kelly, an American lawyer specializing in the entertainment, technology, and advertising sectors, shed light on the future of U.S.-China relations.
Despite U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's announcement to impose a 10 percent tariff on all goods imported from the Chinese mainland, Kelly remains optimistic about the potential for cultural cooperation between the two nations.
Kelly, who studied Chinese law at Peking University, developed a deep interest in the Chinese entertainment industry and has extensive experience in cross-border entertainment and intellectual property issues. His research focuses on U.S.-China trade and entertainment law, providing him with valuable insights into the complexities of bilateral relations.
According to Kelly, maintaining an open mindset is crucial for successful cross-cultural collaboration. \"An open mindset helps participants better understand and appreciate each other's cultural differences,\" Kelly explained. \"Through this understanding, creators can draw from diverse perspectives, sparking new ideas and inspirations.\"
He also pointed out that while cultural differences may pose challenges, they also present opportunities for both sides to learn and grow. \"Only through open dialogue and mutual respect can the United States and the Chinese mainland achieve deeper exchanges and cooperation in the cultural realm,\" Kelly stated. This cooperation, he believes, not only promotes the development of the arts and entertainment industries but also fosters mutual understanding and friendship between the peoples of both nations.
