Officials urge US-China subnational cooperation

Officials and business leaders in both China and the United States are urging cooperation at the subnational level, despite the economic tensions between the two countries.

"We strongly support cooperation at subnational level. We certainly understand that this is a particularly difficult environment in the US-China relationship," Myron Brilliant, executive vice president of the US Chamber of Commerce, said during the China (Guangdong) Investment Cooperation Conference in San Francisco on Friday.

He said the relations between the two nations will strengthen and improve when both sides continue to do business.
