I think between any two countries, maybe especially between China and the United States, there is a certain degree of competition. Well, I think if people here in the United States, if you don't pay your debt to the bank, if you don't pay for a credit card, then the banks will have a record. Such a broad understanding and the strong ties between people will be the real foundation, not only for relations between China and United States but also for world peace.
