Harvard dean pushes to strengthen Sino-US ties

Graham Allison, a renowned US political scholar and founding dean of the Harvard Kennedy School, called for sustained efforts to stabilize and improve China-US relations, saying a stable and improving bilateral relationship is "good news for all of us".

Accompanied by Wang Linggui, chairman of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, Allison toured the special exhibition "Tales of People-to-People Bonds between China and the US" at the Overseas Chinese History Museum of China in Beijing on Saturday.

Allison, who coined the concept of the "Thucydides Trap", said the entire bilateral agenda, from top-level leadership to grassroots exchanges, would benefit from more direct interaction.
