Mat\u00edas Tarnopolsky, the president and CEO of the Philadelphia Orchestra, says it is delightful to commemorate our 50-year relationship with the people of China during this residency. \u201cMusic has the power to connect and build bridges,\u201d\u00a0he points out.<\/p>\n

The 73-year-old violinist Davyd Booth remembers the trip he made 50 years ago. For Booth, his first trip abroad was eye-opening. Since becoming the orchestra\u2019s harpsichordist in 1998, Booth has been on every trip. He says this year\u2019s visit is important for both the U.S. and China, and music has helped rekindle very close relationships.<\/p>\n

China-U.S. relations have been going through difficulties since the U.S. unilaterally launched a trade war against China in 2018, triggering strong concerns in the international community . Goh Chok Tong, Singapore\u2019s senior minister emeritus, asserts China\u2019s development has been beneficial to the world. He says indiscriminate decoupling could adversely affect global economic growth, weigh down supply chain resilience, and threaten food and energy security.<\/p>\n

Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden are expected to hold summit talks in San Francisco on APEC sideline. Many hope their \u00a0meeting in-person\u00a0for the second time in nearly three years can help stabilize tense ties. To move toward San Francisco, it is important to return to the Bali consensus.\u2002As some experts have pointed out, the latest interactions between China and the U.S. show the world is no longer dominated by the United States. Faced with China\u2019s rising global influence, the U.S. has to find new ways to coexist with China.<\/p>\n

Music does help forge connections. The Philadelphia Orchestra story epitomizes the strengthening of people-to-people connections between China and the United States over the past decades. While the bilateral relationship is going through some rough patches at the national level, wide-ranging exchanges and cooperation at the grassroots level are far from losing steam. \u201cThe U.S. and China are like two strong men in a rowboat in a turbulent sea,\u201d\u00a0said Lawrence Summers, former U.S. Treasury Secretary. They need to be \u201crowing in unison\u201d\u00a0to get to the shore and not just survive, but thrive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
